Barbara Smith has been doing The Work for decades. Born into the era of Jim Crow, Smith joined the civil rights movement as a teenager in the 60s, volunteered at the Congress of Racial Equality in Cleveland right out of high school, canvassed for housing rights, became part of the women’s movement after graduating college, and then co-founded a black feminist group called the Combahee River Collective in the 70s. The group grappled with issues of race, class, sex, and homophobia, and is credited with coining the term ‘identity politics’. A legendary and category-defying figure, we were lucky to have a chance to talk with Barbara Smith about her journey, what it’s like to be watching this moment, and why she says she’s optimistic about the struggle.

Maybe if Brianna Taylor Would not have been dating a drugs dealer who shot at the cops first, she wouldn’t be dead 😊
Maybe if the cops had identified themselves as police when they came busting thru the door he would not have exercised his second amendment rights to defend himself. The rules are broken. The law is broken. And maybe you would have a little more empathy for an innocent woman.
