AP African American Studies [POWERPOINT]- Topic 4.13: The Black Feminist Movement, Womanism, and Intersectionality
This PowerPoint examines how the Black feminist movement of the twentieth century drew inspiration from earlier Black women’s activism. Students will discover the enduring legacy of figures like Jarena Lee, Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Tubman, whose resistance laid the foundation for modern Black feminism. Students will explore the Combahee River Collective’s radical vision—linking Black women’s liberation to the destruction of all oppressive systems—and analyze Alice Walker’s concept of "womanism" as a bridge between past and present struggles for racial and gender justice. This PowerPoint contains a YouTube video.
