Combahee River Collective[edit]

The Combahee River Collective laid the foundation that broadened the Black feminism perspective to argue that sexism, racism, and racial oppression intersect one another[4]. Demita Frazier was part of the Combahee River Collective, founding the organization in 1974.[1] The group's name came from the heroic actions of Harriet Tubman, who solely led a campaign that freed more than 750 slaves at South Carolina's Combahee River in 1863[5]. The CRC's overall mission was to inform the mass media and bring attention to the conditions of African-American women.They got involved in an initiative to stop African-African American, and Puerto-Rican women from being sterilized against their wills.The Combahee River Collective disbanded in 1980 and Frazier wrote the group's final statement, alongside Barbara Smith and Beverly Smith.[6]
