CANCELED/POSTPONED: Reading Group: How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective (Central Square)
We are postponing today’s session of our reading group. We plan to have our Tuesday discussion about today’s materials!
“If Black women were free, it would mean that everyone else would have to be free since our freedom would necessitate the destruction of all the systems of oppression.”
