This video by Jennifer Abod is about Audre Lorde's broad social vision and the translation of that vision into a historic transnational conference, which used her work, while celebrating her life.
Audre Lorde (1934-1992) has been intrinsically important to the development of second wave U.S. feminism. Author of 15 books of poetry and prose, she was poet Laureate of New York State from 1991-1993.
She consistently challenged racism, sexism, classism and homophobia, serving as a catalyst for change within and among social movements, in which she herself participated: Black Arts and Black Liberation, Women's Liberation, and Lesbian and Gay Liberation. A staunch internationalist, she connected women across the U.S.A, the Caribbean, Europe, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. She died in 1992 after a courageous 14 year struggle against breast and liver cancer.
