Oh, wow.

And, yeah, they start to put down roots.

But ultimately, I think the civil rights movement is a turning point in her life.

And she meets Martin Luther King early on in that process, who asks her to sing at a rally.

And through that, she becomes involved in fundraising for him, fundraising for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

She works with Eleanor Roosevelt on anti-lynching legislation.

She attends the March on Washington with Josephine Baker.

There's a beautiful photo of them standing in front of the monument.

Nice.

And this is kind of the beginning of her being very prominently vocal about, you know, political activism.

In the 1970s, she speaks out for black women radicals like Angela Davis when she's incarcerated.

Yeah, absolutely.

And for outstanding achievement by an African American.

So she was recognised for having a long standing investment.

But I think it's also worth saying that through the 40s, she had been supporting radical politicians, helping with union fundraisers and thinking about the ways in which like black political organising could function.

And then in civil rights, she came to understand that

The way she'd been used as a figurehead or an aspirational symbol of blackness was actually really negatively loaded and started to talk publicly about that and kind of relearn her black radical consciousness, I guess.

So it's the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People.

And it was a wide ranging political organisation that operated across the US.

Part of it was a political agenda functioning kind of as a union, but it also had an education arm.
