Happy International Women’s Month!! In addition to showcasing some dynamic images from items we’ve recently catalogued, we’d also like to highlight the life, words and ideas of Vicki Ama Garvin. Vicki was an ardent labor organizer, Pan-Africanist, and crusader for racial justice.

Red Star Over China – A Speech by Vicki Garvin

Also be sure to come out to the Roxie(SF) this upcoming Sunday for a one-time showing of 100 Years From Mississippi – a wonderful film by longtime comrade Tarabu about his mother’s life and return to Mississippi over 100 years after being displaced by racial violence.

As always we appreciated your support!
