Black women were the heartbeat of the Civil Rights and Black Power movement, often working behind the scenes keeping the dynamic activists groups afloat with dynamic programs to benefit the community, organizing protests and marches, writing publications, giving speeches, and more, all while simultaneously combating racism, sexism and challenging gender roles. Black women artists during this time continued to push the envelope by experimenting with new mediums, concepts, and illustrating their own narratives.Posted by Emoni BarakaEmma Amos (American, born 1938).
