The Heroines of America’s Black PressHow many black women journalists from the nineteenth century can you name?By Maya Millett who started Race Women on Instagram as a way to celebrate pioneering black feminists too often buried by history—women who, as the name “race women” suggests, devoted their lives to furthering the freedom of the men and women of the race. (The term “race man” would become well known for describing black intellectuals and activists like W.E.B. Du Bois, but the women thinkers of the day also repurposed the title for their own use.) via: New York Review of Books -- source link
