Black Women's Movement
The "Black Women's Movement" refers to the collective efforts of Black women advocating for social, political, and economic equality. This movement emerged from the intersection of the civil rights movement and the feminist movement, addressing the unique challenges faced by Black women, such as racism and sexism. Key figures include Sojourner Truth and Angela Davis, who highlighted the importance of addressing both race and gender in their activism.
Throughout history, the movement has focused on issues like reproductive rights, education, and workplace equality. Organizations such as the National Council of Negro Women and the Black Women's Health Imperative have played significant roles in promoting the rights and well-being of Black women across the United States.
