Rest in Peace to Anna Julia Cooper (Aug 10. 1858- Feb. 27, 1964) ❤️. Born into slavery, she was a writer, sociologist, and educator who championed education for Black people. Today we're honoring her legacy by highlighting Black women educators whose lives and work inspire us! In 1892, Cooper published A Voice from the South by a Black Woman of the South, where she argued that educating Black women was integral to Black liberation and uplift.

In honor of Claudia Jones' 108th birthday this week, for #CiteBlackWomenSunday, we are revisiting Carole Boyce Davies' biography of Claudia Jones, Left of Karl Marx: The Political Life of Black Communist Claudia Jones (2008). Image This iconic text locates Claudia Jones within and beyond the politics of the Communist Party, demonstrated in her commitment to including the domestic economic exploitation of Black women as part of a larger fight against imperialism and colonialism.

Today we honor one of the foremothers of Black feminist anthropology. Zora Neale Hurston was born January 7, 1891. An author, an anthropologist, playwright, folklorist and so much more. Her innovative work such as Mules and Men (1935), Their Eyes were watching God (1937), and Tell my Horse (1938) are all cornerstone in understanding the ways Black ethnographers do work in Black spaces. The care, the complexity, the importance of storytelling exist in her writing

Hey y'all, I'm back for my final session of this #CiteBlackWomen Twitter takeover. Let's start with more resources.
The Okla. Historical Society @okhistory has put together a fantastic collection of resources about African American history in the state. As they state plainly... "Black History is Oklahoma History." I’m (@melissanstuckey) looking forward to working with them even more in the future. okhistory.org/blackhistory #Juneteenth #CiteBlackWomen

Hey y'all, @melissanstuckey is back for another session!
#Juneteenth originated in Texas! But Emancipation meant Black people had the freedom to move and they did. In the 1890s and 1900s Black Texans moved to Oklahoma and brought Juneteenth with them. Take a look at a piece near and dear to my heart. It's called "The Boley Rodeo: A Juneteenth Like No Other" I wrote it for @newterritorymag. Find it here: newterritorymag.com/in-this-place/
Read it and let's talk about it! T/Y @DrMChatelain for connecting me to @Gasconader! #CiteBlackWomen

Let’s start by thinking about a little bit about #Juneteenth and Houston! #CiteBlackWomen Emancipation Park in Houston was purchased by Freedmen in 1872. It has hosted #Juneteenth celebrations like the one these lovely ladies participated in ever since. #CiteBlackWomen

We had a great conversation @UNCWomensCtr about the politics of citation a black women’s knowledge production. One of the things that came up was this issue of action. How do we begin to systematically change the culture of citation that erases Black women? #citeblackwomen One of the things that we discussed was pushback. Oftentimes the decision to #CiteBlackWomen gets pushback from professors, reviewers and colleagues. How do you deal with this pushback? What are your strategies?

#SeptimaClark's papers at @avery_tweets and LDHI are two important archives of her intellectual production. Her writings reflect the depth of her brilliance and political savvy. ldhi.library.cofc.edu/exhibits/show/… #MLKDay #CiteBlackWomen For example, her handwritten essay "Good-bye Jim Crow" encapsulates her analysis of the political reverberations of the Civil Rights Movement and its impact on U.S. society. #MLKDay #CiteBlackWomen
