1971 SPECIAL REPORT: "THE BLACK WOMAN"

African American women played an important and influential role in the Black Power Movement. They held leadership roles in various black nationalist organizations, including the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, while at the same time fighting against the sexist ideologies of the male members. Black power women worked in organizations or on their own to bring attention to issues of gender identity, classism, racism, and sexism. Many of the women involved in the Black Power Movement continued their fight into the 1970s and 1980s, within the growing Black feminism movement. New organizations such as the Third World Women’s Alliance and the Combahee River Collective argued that the liberation of Black women would lead to freedom for all people.
