“ ‘People do not throw their geniuses away’ and that ‘if they are thrown away, it is our duty as artists, scholars, and witnesses for the future to collect them again for the sake of our children… if necessary, bone by bone’” (Walker 1983,92) in Collins 2009,5) Black Feminsit Thought

The Black Women Voices:

Reclaiming our Knowledge Series was sparked by this Alice Walker quote cited in Patricia Hill Collins’ Black Feminist Thought. In this section of the book Collins details how the suppression of Black women’s knowledge production is another tool of oppression.

The act of suppression via:

Exploitation of Black women’s labor essential to US capitalism

Political dimension of oppression has denied African American women the rights and privileges routinely extended to White males citizens

Controlling images applied to Black women’s

She also details how the identity of being a Black woman creates an intersectional identity where the realities of sexism and racism are inextricably linked, which provides Black women with a very unique and powerful lens on the world, humanity and social injustice.

In an act to counter the suppression of Black women voices, Black Women Voices: Reclaiming Our Knowledge is a series TNBC is starting to reclaim the knowledge of Black Women throughout time to both decolonize history and begin to curate our own collective history.

Self, community, society

Today we will embark on this journey by reclaiming the knowledge of the AMAZING Janelle Monae.
