Women March for Peace

“Interweaving the ideologies and activism of these Black radical women, Lynn paints a portrait of long-ignored radical anti-Korean war activism. The women’s work complements each other and creates a meaningful dissent of America’s post-war global campaigns.” - Melissa Ford, author of A Brick and a Bible: Black Women’s Radical Activism in the Midwest

“By focusing on Black women’s peace work in the anti-Korean War movement, Women March for Peace demonstrates new opportunities for scholars to document connections between and among radical Black freedom movements throughout the 20th century.” - Jacqueline Castledine, author of Cold War Progressives: Women’s Interracial Organizing for Peace and Freedom
