The Combahee River Collective Statement, written in 1977 by a group of Black feminists, is a powerful document. They discuss their political views and equality, justice, and freedom, which they do not have.

One of the statement themes is the correlation between two aspects such as oppression and complexion. The writer’s experiences have been influenced by many oppressions. For example, racism and sexism.

The Combahee River Collective Statement also highlights the importance of group effort and unity. The authors hold that all oppressed must combine forces in the fight against oppression to establish a society where all people are equal. Activists also understand the importance of collaboration across a range of social movements.
The author wants to confront and expose other social justice groups. Including the feminist movement is one of the statement’s most important points. They feel that because the feminist movement was focused on fixing issues that affected white women. It failed to properly address what black women needed at the time.

The Combahee River Collective Statement is a strong motion for action that challenges us to address and eliminate the multiple types of oppression that have affected our society. It serves as a reminder that the fight for justice and equality must be a joint effort that includes all oppressed people’s viewpoints and lived experiences.
