Black History Month

bell hooks (1952-):  American author, professor, feminist, and social activist wrote her first book, “Ain’t I A Woman: Black Women and Feminism,” in 1981. She took her title from Sojourner Truth's 1851 speech for women's suffrage rights. hooks' books and lectures have inspired empowerment for women of all ages, races, and classes. hooks writes in "Ain't I a Woman," “Without a doubt, the false sense of power black women are encouraged to feel allows us to think that we are not in need of social movements like a women’s movement that would liberate us from sexist oppression. The sad irony is of course that black women are often most victimized by the very sexism we refuse to collectively identify as an oppressive force.”
