The Combahee River Collective Statement reading was written between 1974 and 1980, the Combahee River Collective was a Black Feminist Lesbian organization. This interdisciplinary group was formed because it was felt that neither the feminism nor the civil rights movements adequately addressed the issues of Black women and lesbians.The following quote means “We might use our position at the bottom to make a clear leap into revolutionary action. If black women were free, it would mean that everyone else would have to be free since our freedom would necessitate the destruction of all the systems of oppression”  we may take advantage of our position at the bottom to make a bold jump into revolutionary activity. If Black women were free, everyone else would have to be free as well, because our freedom would demand the abolition of all oppressive systems.The Combahee River Collective Statement’s goal It connects societal issues that affect women and Black people, such as sexual and racial discrimination and homophobia, to provide an essential viewpoint for progress. Through the massive mixing of people, diverse cultural practices, and products, capitalism introduces women and men to fresh concepts. Traditional societies that impose gender hierarchy are less oppressed by capitalism.
