It Came from Somewhere and it Hasn’t Gone Away: Black Women’s Anti-Poverty Organizing in Atlanta, 1966-1996

Black women formed the first welfare rights organization in Atlanta composed of recipients and continued anti-poverty organizing for decades. Their strategy adapted to the political climate, including the ebb and flow of social movements. This thesis explores how and why that strategy changed as well as how the experiences of the women involved altered ideas of activism and movements.
