And what I think the Combahee River [Collective] Statement did, and I sort of want to go back to when it was newer, is that I think it must have given a lot of Black women literally like a handhold. Something that exists in reality, in black and white literally, that they could read, hold on to, and say “Oh, yes, I experienced that too. I’ve had these kinds of issues and conflicts and difficulties too.” So I guess what I’m saying, to go back to the statement, the ideas that we developed—that that probably helped to foster the development of Black feminism, and that it continues.
