Reflections Unheard : Black Women in Civil Rights

Where do black women activists fit into the epochal struggles for equality and liberation during the 1960s and 1970s? This feature-length documentary unearths the story of black women's political marginalization - between the male-dominated Black Power movement and second wave feminism, which was largely white and middle class - showing how each failed to recognize black women's overlapping racial and gender identities. Promeniently featured activists include Frances Beale, Angela Davis, Kola Boof, Nikki Giovanni, Rosemari Mealy, Judy Richardson, Gwendolyn Simmons, Deborah Singletary, and Eugenia Wiltshire.
