“You know, we are the daughters of Ida B. Wells. We’re the daughters of every Black woman who has been a leader - Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and all the millions of unnamed warriors. All the millions of unnamed ones. We are in a long line. We’re just calling it - we’re calling it what it is now - Black feminism is a representation of Black women’s power. Black women’s agency, Black women’s right to look at their material conditions, analyze it, interrogate jt, and come away with an analysis that’s about empowerment. “ - Demita Frazier ⭐️📚👌🏿

We have two more sessions left in our Black Feminist Praxis Reading and Discussion group, for our next one we are discussing the 2017 Haymarket publication, How We Get Free/Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective edited by @keeangayamahtta This incredible book features a collection of interviews with Black women activists and organizers including the founding members of the iconic Combahee River Collective, a trailblazing group of radical Black women and one of the most important organizations to develop out of the anti racist and women’s liberation movement of the 60s and 70s.
Our circle gathers together next Monday, Dec 9, 7pm @wendyssubway in Bushwick, Brooklyn - all are welcome.
