ALT Graphic depicting Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, the covers of her books "From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation," "How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective," and "Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership," and text: Featured in Topic 4.13 on The Black Feminist Movement and Womanism and Topic 4.29 on Movements for Black Lives, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor and her work have deeply resonated within Black feminism, Queer Black studies, and social movement theory. Despite her prominence, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor and her work were completely excised from the revised February 2023 Official Framework.
ALT In honor of International Women's Day and Women's History Month 2023, AAPF is uplifting Black women scholars and authors whose works were erased last month by the College Board in revised plans for the new Advanced Placement African American Studies course. These women, and their contributions to Intersectionality, Black feminism, and Black studies, are vital to our understanding of history, society and justice. In an open letter released today at bit.ly/NoErasure, we recommit to the fight against global censorship and demand that the College Board restore these critical scholars and ideas to its AP African American Studies Official Framework.
