The Radical Legacy of Black and Chicana Feminism EXTENDED!
That's right, two days was simply NOT ENOUGH to discuss Chicana and Black Feminism! So FSLA and Radical Women and all our participants have agreed to extend the class by one more session.
The present fight to save public education and social services in California has been largely organized and led by women of color. This is why this class will be dedicated to highlight the hidden history of Black and Chicana feminism. We will cover the legacy of Black feminism in the Civil Rights Movement and Chicana feminism in the Chicana/o Movement. The goal of this class is to have lively discussions on working class women of color feminist theory and activism, obstacles in overcoming resistance to feminism, and examine how feminism relates to race, class, and sexuality struggles. We will develop strategies to confront sexism as well as draw out the lessons learned in this history for the present Civil Rights battles (education, immigration, LGBT, workers, abortion, etc.)! and for the liberation of all people!! All genders are welcome.
Facilitator(s): Yuisa Gimeno & Beatriz Paez
