Still Lifting, Still Climbing: African American Women's Contemporary Activism

Still Lifting, Still Climbing is the first volume of its kind to document African American women's activism in the wake of the civil rights movement.

Covering grassroots and national movements alike, contributors explore black women's mobilization around such areas as the black nationalist movements, the Million Man March, black feminism, anti-rape movements, mass incarceration, the U.S. Congress, welfare rights, health care, and labor organizing. Derailing the impact of post-1960s African American women's activism, they provide a much-needed update to the historical narrative.
