1	Searching for Sisterhood: Black Women, Race and the Georgia ERA Gonzalez, Jennifer Powell 12 January 2006 (has links) This Thesis is a local study employing new definitions of political activism and using oral histories, personal records and organizational archived material to debunk the myth that the feminist struggle surrounding the Equal Rights Amendment was separate from issues of race. Black women were involved in the fight for the ERA although not necessarily in the ways that White men and women might expect. Additionally, even when not obviously present, proponents and opponents of the ERA argued over the idea of Black women and race. Concern about Black women, overt racism and coded race language were all a part of the struggle by Georgia ERA Inc. advocates as well as Stop-ERA members. Race is intimately tied to the struggle for the ERA in Georgia. political feminist Black women race ERA Equal Rights Amendment Georgia ERA Inc. Stop-ERA women’s history History
