The Partisan received images from a film screening of “Eyes of The Rainbow”, a documentary about BLA militant Assata Shakur’s time as a political prisoner, which was held in Durham, North Carolina for IWWD. The screening was followed by a discussion of conditions of Black women in prison and the United State’s role in the triple oppression of Black working women, and the oppression of Black people as a whole.
Edmond, Oklahoma
The Partisan received images from a study and discussion event on women’s emancipation and proletarian feminism held in Edmond, Oklahoma for IWWD. [note – unfortunately most images of the event were lost due to a technical issue, but local comrades were luckily able to salvage a few photos to share with The Partisan for this series.]
Washington DC
The Partisan received images from a film screening of Salt of the Earth, held in Washington DC for IWWD, which was followed by a discussion on how the film portrayed the woman question as well as how the question is relevant to issues and conditions in the workplace.
