How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective

Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor

Our Take

History has a way of turning people into symbols, but this author works against that. The Combahee River Collective shaped Black feminist thought in ways still felt today, and here the women who built it get to speak for themselves.

Their Take

The Combahee River Collective, a path-breaking group of radical black feminists, was one of the most important organizations to develop out of the antiracist and women's liberation movements of the 1960s and 70s. In this collection of essays and interviews edited by activist-scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, founding members of the organization and contemporary activists reflect on the legacy of its contributions to Black feminism and its impact on today's struggles.
