SUMMARY:Hidden in Plain Sight: Black Women and the Civil Rights Movement
DESCRIPTION:The Baton Foundation will host a lecture about the important role Black women played in the fight for Black liberation from the era of enslavement to the modern Civil Rights Movement. This program is free to the public\, but registration is required. \nAbout the Program\nThis talk explores why and how Black women involved in Civil Rights activism become “hidden in plain sight” and silenced in dominant U.S. historical narratives and cultural memory. Professor Yates-Richard traces a persistent representational logic that shadows and quiets Black women in Black freedom imaginings from the era of slavery through the U.S. Civil Rights Movement. Dr. Yates-Richard introduces key Black women Civil Rights organizers and activists\, and highlights their contributions to the ongoing struggle for Black liberation. \nAbout the Speaker\nMeina Yates-Richard is an Assistant Professor of African American Studies and English at Emory University.
