UMBC graduate student, Emerald Christopher, joined tens of thousands of other supporters to acknowledge the importance of women leaders in the March on Washington at the 50th anniversary of the movement, held last week.
Christopher wore a shirt emblazoned with the names “Audre & Gloria & Angela & bell” – a nod to the famous feminist and womanist thought leaders Audre Lorde, Gloria Anzaldúa, Angela Davis, and bell hooks. Having women political figures address the rally was great, Christopher said, but she questioned where the African-American women thought leaders were.
