In this week's episode I read Kathleen Cleaver's "Women, Power, & Revolution" (1998). Kathleen Cleaver was one of the most influential leaders of the Black Panther Party. Images of the Black Panther Party are largely of Black men, but two-thirds of its members were women, nationally. The intersection of race and gender was at the forefront for women like Cleaver and what she says brings sheds more light on the importance of historical narrative, intersectionality, Black feminism, and dismantling racism.
