Cite Black Women Podcast

Christen Smith

The Cite Black Women podcast is a periodic program with a simple message: Cite Black Women. We have been producing knowledge since we blessed this earth. We theorize, we innovate, we revolutionize the world. We do not need mediators. We do not need interpreters. It's time to disrupt the canon. It's time to upturn the erasures of history. It's time to give credit where credit is due. This bi-weekly podcast features reflections and conversations about the politics and praxis of acknowledging and centering Black women’s ideas and intellectual contributions inside and outside of the academy through citation. Episodes feature conversations with Black women inside and outside of the academy who are actively engaged in radical citation as praxis, quotes and reflections on Black women's writing, conversations on weathering the storm of citational politics in the academy, decolonizing syllabi and more.

¿Qué significa ser mujer negra en Argentina? ¿Qué significa ser una mujer negra activista en un país que históricamente ha invisibilizado y negado la negritud? Estas preguntas dan inicio a la conversación entre Florencia Gomes y la Dra. Prisca Gayles. Cubrimos el complejo sistema racial de extranjerización, borrado y ocultación que resulta en la posición de las mujeres negras como “otras” en Argentina, y cómo resulta en intercambios a nivel micro de patrullaje de los cuerpos y gestos de las mujeres negras. Florencia conecta la larga historia de activismo de las mujeres negras en Argentina con su historia personal como descendiente de caboverdianos. Ella detalla cómo se basa tanto en el conocimiento y el activismo de su bisabuela, su abuela, su tía y su hermana como en el trabajo de Audre Lorde, Sueli Carneiro, Victoria Santa Cruz, Yuderkys Espinosa y Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí. Las epistemologías feministas negras proporcionan el marco general a medida que desempaquetamos el desaprendizaje que debe ocurrir dentro del activismo de las mujeres negras; interseccionalidad dentro del movimiento feminista; proyectos concretos de activistas feministas negras en Argentina; y desafíos para la comunidad negra durante la pandemia de Covid-19. Terminamos la conversación con las visiones de Florencia para su propia trayectoria. Como arquitecta que ejerce en una disciplina tradicionalmente clasista, Florencia espera fusionar su activismo con su carrera profesional. Este enfoque abordaría la historiografía de la arquitectura en el currículo en Argentina para incluir lecturas críticas de edificios construidos por personas esclavizadas pero también propondría proyectos arquitectónicos orientados hacia la justicia social. Dichos proyectos incluirían la construcción sostenible en áreas históricamente negras de Argentina que carecen de servicios básicos.

In this episode of the Cite Black Women podcast, Dr. Christen Smith sits down with Dr. Melissa Stuckey to discuss the history of Black emancipation days in the United States, Juneteenth, and the special tone this year's commemoration takes in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. Dr. Stuckey discuss the special connections between George Floyd and Juneteenth in Emancipation Park in Houston, the tradition of Emancipation Days across the country, and why the history of our freedom celebrations has everything to do with our current moment. *Erratum! Please note In the podcast Dr. Stuckey mistakenly states that Watchnight Emancipation observation was 1863/1864. It should say 1862/1863. Dr. Melissa N. Stuckey is assistant professor of African American history at Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) in North Carolina. She is a specialist in early twentieth century black activism and is committed to engaging the public in important conversations about black freedom struggles in the United States. Dr. Stuckey is the author of several book chapters, journal, and magazine articles including “Boley, Indian Territory: Exercising Freedom in the All Black Town,” published in 2017 in the Journal of African American History and "Freedom on Her Own Terms: California M. Taylor and Black Womanhood in Boley, Oklahoma" (forthcoming in This Land is Herland: Gendered Activism in Oklahoma, 1870s to 2010s, edited by Sarah Eppler Janda and Patricia Loughlin, University of Oklahoma Press, 2020). Stuckey is currently completing her first book, entitled “All Men Up”: Seeking Freedom in the All-Black Town of Boley, Oklahoma, which interrogates the black freedom struggle in Oklahoma as it took shape in the state’s largest all-black town. Stuckey is also working on several public history projects. She has been awarded grants from the National Parks Service and the Institute for Museum and Library Services to rehabilitate a historic Rosenwald school on ECSU's campus and to preserve the history and legacy of these important African American institutions. In addition, she is a contributing historian on the NEH-funded “Free and Equal Project” in Beaufort, South Carolina, which is interpreting the story of Reconstruction for national and international audiences and is senior historical consultant to the Coltrane Group, a non-profit organization in Oklahoma committed to economic development and historic rehabilitation in the thirteen remaining historically black towns in that state. Melissa Stuckey earned her bachelor’s degree from Princeton University and her Ph.D. from Yale University
