093 The Power of African American Women

This week’s From the Vault, hosted by KPFK’s Margaret Prescod, showcases restored recordings of women who have given their voices, time, and energy to civil and human rights — proud women who have stood against racism and sexism, whose battlefield was grounded in America’s civil rights movement. In this episode, we honor Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Lorraine Hansberry by hearing them, remembering them, thanking them for all they have taught us, and acknowledging that their hard work changed not only the United States, but also the world. From deep within the vault, thanks to the Preservation and Access Project, these historic recordings surface once again, and shine with relevance as Pacifica Radio Archives continues its celebration of Black History Month.
From the Vault is presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project.
