"Woman question"

AmiNa Baraka

  

Chairman Amiri Baraka assigned Comrade Amina to form a committee of women comrades to put together a paper on the "Woman Question" in preparation for the July 3-7 Central Council meeting, The Committee members were Johari (St. Louis), Laini (New York), Jaribu (Baltimore), Sharifa (Detroit), and Jalia (NewArk). The Committee met in NewArk on June 7 to discuss the outline presented by C. Amina and to suggest research materials that would lend to a whole-sided, historical analysis of the Woman Question, Black Women, and Revolution.

This paper is not meant to represent a final position but a position from which we can hold discussion and work for a revolutionary line.
