How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor

5.0

Totally engrossing oral history of a piece of Boston Black-radical-feminist-queer-socialist history in the late 70s as told by the three founding members of the CRC. The last oral history in the book is told by Alicia Garza and situates CRC's vision within the Black Lives Matter movement. Took many grad courses in Boston history and shamefully never learned of CRC's impact and enduring legacy. So glad I found this book, can't recommend enough!
