Description
Ashley Farmer, Stanford University. The radical black press played an important role in developing and sustaining the black power movement through its pervasive challenge to American racism. These publications were also responsible for shaping male-centered perceptions of black power in the public sphere. This talk examines African-American women’s use of the radical black press to challenge patriarchal conceptions of the black power activist.
