Still Lifting, Still Climbing is the first volume of its kind to document African American women's activism in the wake of the civil rights movement.Covering grassroots and national movements alike, contributors explore black women's mobilization around such areas as the black nationalist movements, the Million Man March, black feminism, antirape movements, mass incarceration, the U.S. Congress, welfare rights, health care, and labor organizing. Detailing the impact of post1960s African American women's activism, they provide a muchneeded update to the historical narrative.Ideal for course use, the volume includes original essays as well as primary source documents such as firsthand accounts of activism and statements of purpose. Each contributor carefully situates their topic within its historical framework, providing an accessible context for those unfamiliar with black women's history, and demonstrating that African American women's political agency does not emerge from a vacuum, but is part of a complex system of institutions, economics, and personal beliefs.This ambitious volume will be an invaluable resource on the state of contemporary African American women's activism.
