With the exception of an iconic moments such as Rosa Parks' 1955 refusal to move to the back of a Montgomery bus, we hear little about what black women activists did prior to 1960. In this work of historical recovery, the author examines an extended community of black radical women during the early Cold War, including established Communist Party.
