REST IN POWER bell hooks … gone much much too soon.
bell hooks – who passed away on December 15 – was an author of over 40 books and an influential & groundbreaking Feminist who kept reminding us that Feminism Is For Everybody. A foundational force in Black Feminist thought, a brilliant & compassionate academic, accessible writer, scholar and thinker, and a teacher of Love as the ethical root of all justice and healing.
FIRST … We’re sharing some brilliant moments from interviews that she’s done on Feminist Magazine and KPFK over the years – thanks to the Pacifica Radio Archives. In all of them bell was brilliant and kind, but also funny and self effacing. But above all she was all about pedagogy – she taught us all so so much.
AND … The social media tributes to her since her death speak to the ways that her vast body of work changed lives, launched activist careers, affirmed values and saved others from isolation and despair. Lynn Harris Ballen talks to Jollene Levid, union organizer & former chair of AF3IRM, about how bell hooks’ writing and thinking shaped her – personally, and as an activist and organizer.
