  • Women have been a powerful (and largely underappreciated) force in the movement for Black equality in the United States. The Black Power Movement is no exception to that trend. Today, we'll learn about how women contributed to several organizations, including the Black Panthers. We'll also explore how the Black Arts Movement served as a way for women to empower Black People through creative output.

    Black Women are Great. And deserve so much more respect in the black community. because without us there would be no movement to speak of.

    This is one of the coolest CZcams channels ever. The content is top notch and I learned absolutely none of this in school and I really missed out.

    I like how these episodes are put together. You cover important themes through the lense of the actions of individuals. It puts faces on these times which helps. Thanks!

    I’m happy to say I heard Angela Davis speak at TESC in 2008 (maybe 2009). I wish I could remember who the guest speaker before her was, who gave a great talk about food deserts in POC communities… maybe I’ll look that up.
    I also want to give a shout out to one Civil Rights leader I had the fortune of meeting briefly, Reverend James Lawson, who should be looked up if or if not referenced on this series.

    Amazing episode! I especially loved the mention of Nikki Giovanni who is from Knoxville, close to where I live. So excited for the next episode, especially as a white LGBT person. Black queer women started the Pride movement.

    good episode, so many important women in these movements go unacknowledged even as they help drive them forwards

    the way you communicate in a organize way and structure like book style way, It allows us to not only learn about the history your sharing, but it also put the real thoughts of people behind it and breaking it down further. I gained another heighten prospective on my own culture with this course. I've been looking for video content that gave the best delivery of these subjects for a while. I hope you consider a special series ,where you talk about individual black figures. thank you.

    Not mentioned in this video is Claudia Jones, mainly because she'd been exiled to England for being a communist by the 60s. She was hugely influential on Malcolm X and others. She essentially pioneered the concept of intersectionality by explaining her struggles as someone who was black, a woman, and a worker. The book "Left of Karl Marx", a reference to her resting place (literally left of Marx) is about her life & works.
