Sojourner Truth Radio: The Women's March's Multigenerational Resistance of Black Women (Pt. I) by Sojourner Truth with Margaret Prescod published on 2017-01-31T15:55:15Z On January 21, 2017, millions of women gathered in Washington, D.C., in over 40 cities across the United States, and in countries across the world, from Kenya to Antarctica, to say no to Trump and to make the case that women's rights are human rights. It was a global mobilization that gives some indication of the organic movements to come. Today, we bring you Part One of in our coverage of Black women activists who were in Washington, D.C. for the march, but not on the main stage. You will hear from women who have been at the forefront of Black women's resistance: from the early days of the Civil Rights Movement, to the original 1963 March on Washington, to Black power movements to the movements of today. Included in this one-hour special are the voices of Dorie Ladner, Ruby Sales, Fania Davis, Andrea James and Gwen Moore. Please look out for our future segments with Dr. Beverly Guy-Sheftall and Reverend Dyan Akousa McCray Peters.
