This bonus episode of The Unwanted Sorority traces the rich but often overlooked history of Black American resistance to sexual violence, beyond the headlines and hashtags. Host, Dr. Leatra Tate guides listeners through more than a century of organizing, from post-Emancipation community protection practices and the anti-lynching work of the early 1900s to the radical abolitionist frameworks of the 2000s.
We explore how Black survivors and organizers redefined safety in the face of state neglect and criminalization, building power through mutual aid, political education, and healing justice. We’ll also touch on the rise of digital movements like #MeToo and #MuteRKelly to reinforce why today’s advocacy demands more than carceral solutions.
Featuring a brief historical analysis and cultural commentary, this episode is a reminder that we’ve been building this road to liberation for generations. Let’s take this introduction as an invitation to keep moving forward.
