The story involves a group of black women who have been meeting since 1974 and still meet to date to discuss their place in society regarding struggling against class oppression, sexual, heterosexual, and racial abuse (Mirza 189-207). These women find their origin in the Afro-American woman’s continuous life and death struggle for liberation and survival. They refer to themselves as the Black Feminists. Their main aim is to discuss ways to combat and manifold the various forms of oppression that women face. The group believes that the only people who care about them and their liberation are (black feminists). Their politics evolves from their love for themselves, their sisters, and the community, motivating them to continue their struggle and work. They believe that class and race cannot be separated because they have experienced it throughout their lives (Schelenz 224-249). They believe that in their fight against race and sexism, they should stand in solidarity with their fellow black men. These women also believe that men and women will never be equal. Women being in the category for the development of the home, men are made to perform other functions and are thus complementary to each other. In their journey to announce themselves as black feminists, they have encountered the problems of organizing themselves because the organization of white women has continued to grow in many ways and directions (Files 85-91). They are not trying to fight one form of oppression, but the entire form is a problem encountered. During their time of existence, the Black Women’s movement has worked on issues concerning abortion rights, rape, battered women, and sterilization abuse. They have achieved these through doing workshops on high school women, college campuses, and women’s conferences.
