  • Building Multi-Racial Coalitions Through Women’S Culture the Roadwork Oral History and Documentary Project
    ORAL HISTORY AND DOCUMENTARY PROJECT BUILDING MULTI-RACIAL COALITIONS THROUGH WOMEN’S CULTURE THE ROADWORK ORAL HISTORY AND DOCUMENTARY PROJECT IF YOU FEEL SOMETHING MISSING, IT IS PROBABLY THE SOUND OF YOUR OWN VOICE. The roots of contemporary social justice movements in the United States are deeply intertwined. THE ROADWORK ORAL HISTORY AND DOCUMENTARY PROJECT illuminates and documents these roots by telling the story of a multi- racial, cultural-political collaboration among musicians, artists, poets and organizers that existed from the late 1970s to the 1990s. Roadwork was a unique cultural organization founded by women with extensive leadership experience in black civil rights, progressive, women’s, global justice, anti-war, and lesbian-feminist movements. It was led by women of color, and aimed at nothing less than the transformation of consciousness and the creation of a global social justice movement. Founded in 1978 by Bernice Johnson Reagon and Amy Musical Retreat, and Roadwork’s own Sisterfire festival).

Show was a problem to the Brass in the Pentagon. In all it's wit and anger, it's explosive satire, and powerful attack on racism, and all the other ills of the military, the show was something that had to be dealt with.. So the Pentagon said, "No." No, they couldn't perform on base. No,GI's couldn't go off base; to see it. No, ships could not go into port if the show was playing there. No, the troupe would not be permitted in Vietnam. NO, NO, NO, NO. Inequities aside (considering the hospitality shown the USO shows by the Pentagon,) "F.T.A." would not let that stop them. "F.T.A. is one of the most relevant kind of theater in existence today," says Jane Fonda, who, with actor Donald Sutherland and director Francine Parker produced the successful show which performed for thousands of GI's, servicewomen and men, near bases in the Pacific Rim (Hawaii, the Philippines, Japan and Okinawa.) "The Material for the show was taken from the more than 75 GI newspapers published by GI projects outside of U.S. Military bases all over America and around the world," Ms. Fonda continued. "We felt a film was the only way to bring tho show back to the American people but more importantly, to bring back the true feelings expressed by the GI's themselves."

  • “Our Silence Buys the Battles”: the Role of Protest Music in the U.S.-Central American Peace and Solidarity Movement
    “Our Silence Buys the Battles”: The Role of Protest Music in the U.S.-Central American Peace and Solidarity Movement CARA E. PALMER “No más! No more!” “No más! No more!” Shout the hills of Salvador Shout the hills of Salvador Echo the mountains of Virginia In Guatemala, Nicaragua We cry out “No más! No more!” We cry out “No más! No more!”1 In the 1980s, folk singer John McCutcheon implored his fellow U.S. citizens to stand in solidarity with Central Americans in countries facing United States (U.S.) intervention. Combining both English and Spanish words, his song “No Más!” exemplifies the emphasis on solidarity that characterized the dozens of protest songs created in connection with the U.S.-Central American Peace and Solidarity Movement (CAPSM).2 McCutcheon’s song declared to listeners that without their active opposition, the U.S. government would continue to sponsor violence for profit. McCutcheon sang, “Our silence buys the battles, let us cry, ‘No más! No more!,’” urging listeners to voice their disapproval of the Reagan administration’s foreign policies, because remaining silent would result in dire consequences. One hundred thousand U.S. citizens mobilized in the 1980s to protest U.S. foreign policy toward Central America. They pressured Congress to end U.S. military and financial aid for the military junta in El Salvador, the military dictatorship in Guatemala, and the Contras in Nicaragua. The Reagan administration supported armed government forces in El Salvador and Guatemala in their repression of the armed leftist groups FMLN and MR-13, and the Contras in Nicaragua in their war against the successful leftist revolution led by the FSLN.

  • Gilbert, Ronnie
    Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College Northampton, MA RONNIE GILBERT Interviewed by KATE WEIGAND March 10, 2004 Cambridge, Massachusetts This interview was made possible with generous support from the Ford Foundation. © Ronnie Gilbert 2004 Sophia Smith Collection Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Narrator Ronnie Gilbert (b. 1926) grew up in and around New York City in a leftwing household. She is best known for her role the singing group The Weavers, which worked to popularize folk music in the U.S. from 1948 until it was blacklisted in 1952. In the 1960s and 1970s Gilbert worked as actor and a psychotherapist in New York, California, and Canada. In the 1980s she revitalized her singing career by touring on the women’s music circuit, independently and with artists such as Holly Near. She defines herself as a writer/teacher/activist who is particularly committed to the issues of feminism and global peace. Interviewer Kate Weigand (b. 1965) has a Ph.D. in women’s history and U.S. history from Ohio State University. She is author of Red Feminism: American Communism and the Making of Women’s Liberation (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2001). Abstract In this oral history Ronnie Gilbert describes her childhood in a leftwing Jewish family in New York City. The interview focuses on her musical education, her childhood experiences at large union rallies and at the progressive Camp Wo-Chi-Ca in upstate New York, her participation in the folk music revival and The Weavers, her personal experience of the anti-communist blacklist, and her feminist awakening and participation in women’s music.

  • Ladyslipper Music
    LADYSLIPPER MUSIC •Records and Tapes by Women LADYSLIPPER MUSIC is a project of three North Carolina women who are interested in expanding the scope and availability of Women's music, in exploring and snaring the herstory of of women in music, and in working with and for other women to make a living. We want to be able to build a catalog of records and tapes by women that reflects our pasts, our presents and our futures. We want to find and share with you music by women of all ages, races, and classes. Music created and performed by women is as varied and unique as we are. Bringing it together into one catalog won't be easy—so we do have our limits. Records that are mass produced by major record labels and available in most record stores, we won't carry. What you will find offered by Ladyslipper are recordings of Women's music (i.e., music written, performed and produced by women, on women's labels, for women)...records documenting the herstory of women in music...record­ ings by women throughout the world and in foreign (to us) languages...music for children that doesn't insult kids' intelligence or bore them...political and non-sexist music...recordings of women with non-traditional styles and instuments...music that reflects innovative contributions by women...and some rare or just hard-to-get recordings. We feel that it is important for women to support the struggles, hard work and commitment of those women who have formed their own record companies and/or produced records with women's energy and talents.

  • The Disappearing L
    1 The Soundtrack of Our Awakening I seem to have spent my entire life listening to boys talk about music. And sometimes, no matter how smart or untrivial or mean- ingful the boy might be, the sheer aesthetic presence of a masculine voice in record talk can get on my nerves. Because there are so many males talking, all the time, about everything, on television and on the radio, that I just get sick of men. —Sarah Vowell, Radio On We were not the first feminist musicians to sing out, but this tour jump-started a cultural phenomenon that would change the lives of hundreds of thousands of women and men; it laid the ground- work so that a dozen years later, young independent women could dominate the music industry. At the same time, millions of people never even knew it happened. —Holly Near, Fire in the Rain . Singer in the Storm Not wanting to identify with women’s music is the same thing as not wanting to call yourself a feminist. —Kaia Wilson, The Butchies, Co-owner, Mr. Lady Records For more than thirty years, I’ve collected the work of feminist musicians and comedians who enjoyed cult status as lesbian stage performers in the 23 © 2016 State University of New York Press, Albany 24 The Disappearing L 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s. These groundbreaking artists, earning very little in return for what they gave to the women’s community, worked tirelessly as local and national activists. Against all odds, they made the subject of lesbian rights into dance music, whether on bass guitar, piano, banjo, drum kit, saxophone, horn, djembe, or flute.
