#BlackHistory I'm doing my write-up of the Million Man and Million Woman marches in chunks, which I'm pasting into blogs as I go to feel like I've done something. How the #MillionWomanMarch was organized is now posted. In case you want to know a bit of history. Other chunks will be on the "meaning" of the marches. (Comments & critiques welcome, by the way.) https://www.ssc.wisc.edu/soc/racepoliticsjustice/2023/01/28/organizing-the-million-woman-march/

Reading 1997 news accounts of the #BlackWomen #MillionWomanMarch, seeing allusions to conflicts about who was included/excluded, but nobody directly saying exactly what the conflicts were or who said what. My eyes are glazing over trying to track down details. As far as I can tell, there is virtually zero academic work on this important #BlackMovement event. If it is there, it isn't using the key phrase Million Woman March. #BlackHistory Let me know if I'm missing something,
