This Day in Esoteric Political History

The Roots of Intersectionality (1979)

18 min • 3 april 2022

It’s April 3rd. This day in 1979, community organizations in Boston such as the Combahee River Collective are raising the alarm about a string of murders targeting Black women. The CRC looked to highlight the way in which race, gender, and class all intersected in the conditions that led to the murders and the city’s reaction.

Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss the Roxbury murders and the identity politics that emerged from the community’s response.
