Our former history professor SNT prophesizes with respected historian, author, activist, intellectual and educator, Dr Barbara Ransby. These two history teachers make an intersectional analysis on where we’ve been and where we’re going by looking specifically at the Black woman’s experience in America and how that affects ALL people. Looking back to our foremothers and sisters like Ella Baker and Anita Hill, Turner and Ransby – bonded in defense of ourselves – present an educational prelude to how we must reimagine society in a fundamental way to see a future that embraces equality across race, class, gender, economics and wealth.
