Hopkins Press Podcast 4.2: Marissa J. Spear on Women, Survival and the Black Panther Party in Baltimore

Hopkins Press Podcast 4.2 Marissa J. Spear on Women, Survival and the Black Panther Party in Baltimore

Today on the podcast, we have Marissa J. Spear, whose new article in Journal of Women's History studies “Women, Survival and the Black Panther Party in Baltimore.”

In this article, Marissa J. Spear focuses on the activities of four women — Angie Hatten, Connie Felder, Lula Hudson, and Nkenge Touré — and the ways they transformed, and were transformed by — working with the party.

It’s a story that comes to a head with a three-week-long seige of the Black Panther headquarters by police and FBI. It’s a great read for anyone interested in the history of the Black Panther party, of women’s liberation and the transformation of gender politics, and of the city of Baltimore. The article will be be free to read on Project MUSE through the end of August.
