A photo-recap of the film screening of A PLACE OF RAGE with Pratibha Parmar and Jaimee A. Swift at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
On September 22 at 6:30 PM EST at The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Black Women Radicals hosted a sold-out film screening of A PLACE OF RAGE (1991), Pratibha Parmar's award-winning documentary film that illuminates the contributions of Black women in the Civil Rights Movement through intimate interviews with trailblazing writers and leaders, including Angela Davis, June Jordan, Alice Walker, and Trinh T. Minh-ha. The film bridges Civil Rights era organizing with contemporary discourses on Black power, feminism, and queer rights.
The event was apart of the Schomburg’s Black on Screen: Century of Radical Visual Culture.
Following the screening, director Pratibha Parmar was in conversation with Dr. Jaimee A. Swift, Executive Director and Founder of Black Women Radicals and The School for Black Feminist Politics. Swift is the co-editor of We Are Each Other's Liberation: Black and Asian Feminist Solidarities — an anthology that includes an interview with Parmar, who discusses her friendships with Davis, Jordan, and Walker. The anthology is a collaborative project between Black Women Radicals and the Asian American Feminist Collective and uplifts cross-racial and internationalist politics that address solidarity between Black and Asian feminists. During the conversation, Parmar and Swift spoke about the enduring power of Black feminist resistance and cross-racial solidarities.
The event was followed by a book signing of We Are Each Other’s Liberation, which sold out at the Schomburg Bookstore!
