Dr. Blain\u2019s talk highlights the political activism of Black nationalist women who organized in the US South in tandem with women activists in the Global South\u2014especially Latin America and the Caribbean. While mainstream historical narratives tend to focus on the political work of Black women during the modern Civil Rights Movement, this talk highlights the local, national, and transnational efforts of women who organized Black working-poor people during the tumultuous years of the Great Depression. These women’s stories underscore how Black women have shaped national and global politics, and they reveal how those who were outside traditional halls of power still found ways to effect change in the US and abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n
