Approaches to Black Freedom: Race, Gender, and Radicalism given by Joseph Stuart

The Black Freedom Movement is often seen as dominated by male Christians, but history reveals that’s not the case. In this lecture, Joseph Stuart examines different forms of activism practiced by three Black freedom leaders, taking a closer look at how ideas about race, gender, religion, and bodies shaped Malcolm X’s, Fannie Lou Hamer’s, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s approaches to achieving Black freedom in the United States and abroad.
