Yale historian Jonathan Holloway continues his course on American history from Emancipation to the present, turning to the fractures within black political organizing after the assassination of Martin Luther King and the collapse of SNCC and the Black Panthers. He traces gains like Carl Stokes's 1967 Cleveland mayoral win, the 1969 founding of the Congressional Black Caucus, and the 1972 Gary convention, then examines how gender divided these coalitions. He covers Daniel Patrick Moynihan's report on black families, Johnnie Tillmon's welfare rights organizing, and Shirley Chisholm's 1972 presidential run, framing these as responses to what activists called double jeopardy, the combined weight of racism and sexism. The lecture closes with the founding of the National Black Feminist Organization and the Combahee River Collective as black women pushed to be heard within both civil rights and feminist movements.
