This review is from: COLOR ME FLO ~ My Hard Life and Good Times (Paperback)
Here's Flo Kennedy, "radicalism's rudest mouth," telling her life story in full and for the first time. Raised in Kansas City in the twenties, she was one of five sisters, the daughter of a father who stood off the Ku Klux Klan with a shotgun and a mother who taught them always to hold out for the best.One of the first Black women to graduate from Columbia Law School, she went on to represent Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker. In the sixties she was a delegate to the Black Power conferences, then took up the battle against sexism and racism by founding the Media Workshop, the Feminist Party, and the Coalition Against Racism and Sexism. She was a member of the legal team which was instrumental in liberalizing the New York State abortion laws, and was co-author of Abortion Rap. She has mastered guerilla warfare tactics on the picket line and in the streets and suites of New York. Her verbal karate has provoked and entertained TV audiences internationally. Now in COLOR ME FLO the inimitable Flo Kennedy makes her case to the reader. |
