#APeoplesJourney: African American Women and the Struggle for Equality
Description
African American women have always been part of the African American struggle for full equality. Learn how early freedom fighters like Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Anna Julia Cooper fought against multiple oppressions. Scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw explains how the intersections of these oppressions manifest today in the term she coined, "intersectionality." Voiced by Jouelzy and scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw. #HiddenHerstory Credits: Narration by Jouelzy https://www.youtube.com/jouelzy Music by Jamila Woods http://goo.gl/EqR4Ss “Ain’t I a Woman?” ©Iowa Women’s Archives, University of Iowa Libraries, Iowa City IA "Demonstrators Are Arrested and Carried to a Police Van for Transport to the Chapel Hill Jail," Collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, Gift of James H Wallace Jr, © Jim Wallace “The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom August 28, 1963“ Collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, Gift of James H Wallace Jr., ©Jim Wallace “Black Panthers from Sacramento, Free Huey Rally, Bobby Hutton Memorial Park, Oakland, CA, No. 62” Collection of the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture, Gift of the Pirkle Jones Foundation, ©2011 Pirkle Jones Foundation Untitled Angela Davis Photo, Collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, Gift of Milton Williams Archives, ©Milton Williams “Women with Sign Protesting” ©Third World Women's Alliance Records “Barbara and Beverly Smith Photograph ” © 2017 JEB (Joan E.
