Black, feminist, outspoken and unintimidated - arguments for feminist concerns of Black women

by Julianne Malveaux , June 17, 2007

Categories:

I could swallow my objections in the name of Black unity, or sidestep the angry attacks that so often come when a Black woman speaks out. Instead, I choose to voice my objections. In the name of love for Black men and women. In the name of truth. And in the name, and the footsteps of Ida B. Wells, of Maria Stewart, of Anna Julia Cooper, I stand concerned about race and gender. I am Black, feminist, outspoken, unintimidated -- and claiming Women's History Month as a time for African-American women to deal with these feminist issues.
