Podcast appearances and mentions of Anna J Cooper

This week, join us to reflect on the legacy of Dr. Anna J. Cooper!  Cooper was an extraordinary activist, educator, author, speaker, and philosopher who made a significant difference in the lives of every community she was part of. Her legacy extends beyond her written work, but lives on in all of those she taught and those who got to know her work! She advocated for the rights of Black Americans, her students, women, and was an early advocate of the intersectional identities. Did we mention she got her PhD at 67? Listen and learn from the best! 

Het levensverhaal van Anna J. Cooper is al een boek waard. Geboren in slavernij werd ze een pionier en geleerde van de hoogste soort: ze was de vierde zwarte Amerikaanse vrouw met een PhD, schooldirecteur en bevlogen docent tot haar 95e, en een vooraanstaand activist. In Een stem uit het Zuiden (vertaling ISVW, 2021) voert Cooper strijd voor gelijke rechten en stelt ze racistische en seksistische praktijken aan de kaak. Hoe wilde ze burgerrechten verwezenlijken? Welke argumenten gebruikte ze tegen de gevestigde orde van haar tijd? En welke lessen kunnen wij hieruit leren? Marthe Kerkwijk introduceert Cooper in de ISVW podcast.

en·co·mi·um = (a speech or piece of writing of warmly enthusiastic praise) This piece is honoring all the brave women of our past & of our present who have given more than blood, sweat & tears but even their very lives. From Anna J. Cooper & Sojourner truth to Suzanne Shank & Sandra Bland, we must not only remember our honorable women but celebrate them as they live now. May we never forget the countless innocent lives lost at the hands of police brutality, instead of being allowed the proper medical attention. The countless women being sexually assaulted daily. The countless little girls being human sex trafficked. May God continue to give us the strength to stop these atrocities! May we as men continue to find ways to uplift our sisters with love and genuine understanding. The highlight scripture/book comes from The Book of Susanna - found in the Holy Bible (in the Apocrypha) May we continue to fight against those who sexually assault, harass, degrade and undermine the mere existence of women. May God above continue to strengthen the bond between Men & Women as we both need each other. May love always conquer the hate. In Jesus Name.
