Their importance to the movement occurred long before lifelong activist Rosa Parks became the catalyst in the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955. Who are the countless and often nameless black women who risked their lives and worked tirelessly to fight for the equality of black people in this country? From slavery to the modern day civil rights movement, the contributions of African American women are often overlooked in the retelling of history, but their contributions were critical in the battle for racial equality. They were grassroots organizers, strategists, and educators. Due to their selflessness and kindness, these black women became heroines of the movement. This book seeks to unearth the contributions of African American women throughout various periods of American history."--Publisher's description Notes Online resource; title from pdf (ProQuest, viewed August 19, 2019) Subject African American women political activists -- History -- 20th century Women radicals -- United States -- History -- 20th century African American radicals -- History -- 20th century Radicalism -- United States -- History -- 20th century Feminism -- United States -- History -- 20th century African American radicals African American women political activists Feminism Race relations Radicalism Women radicals SUBJECT United States -- Race relations -- History -- 20th century Subject United States Genre/Form History Form Electronic book Author Carter-Robinson, Janelle Renee, editor ISBN 9781536150568 1536150568
