What I can contribute:
I would like to add a section in black feminism about black, lesbian feminists. This would help fill in the gaps for both pre-70's and post 90's requests for black feminists.

Possible NEW ideas

- A paragraph on Black Lesbian Feminism in Black feminism, but referring back to the original section.

- Adding to Lesbian Feminist's black section on modern work.

- Maybe also adding some more writers of color

- Looking for more out of the USA

- Expanding to LGBT instead of just lesbian

- Look up Katblaque--watch videos; done everyday feminism as well

- Janet Mock--look into

 Other ideas/ Revisions: 

For the Black feminism page, I want to add a section on black, lesbian feminism. However, since there is already a bigger section on this topic under the Lesbian feminism article, I will not be going into extensive detail on it and simply reference it within this added section. Then, I would like to add more recent work from black, lesbians or (GBT+) feminists under Lesbian feminism in their black, lesbian feminist section.

added notes:

- make sure to avoid passive voice and directly reference specific authors

- make sure that links are not to the ohio proxy/ library

- add links within the article to specific wiki pages

- matching and the structure of what is previously written

- be more clear on the specifics on the starting point

---going through the two different references

- its okay to use the direct link of all the other authors who contributed

= 1ST DRAFT: = Black, lesbian feminism is a political identity and movement that incorporates perspectives, experiences, and politics around race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. This form of lesbian feminism emphasizes its focus on solidarity, with allies, instead of separation from their oppressors. Additionally, black, lesbian feminism tries to break away from mainstream lesbian, feminism due to the exclusion of racial experiences.

During the 1970’s, lesbian feminists created their own sector of feminism in reaction to homophobia and lesbian exclusion in the mainstream Second-Wave Feminist agenda. Overall, lesbian feminism created a radical agenda focusing on challenging homophobia; finding a place in feminism; and, for some, separatist notions. Additionally, some lesbian feminists were involved in black power movements, and vocalized the need for the inclusion of people of color. However, these less popular perspectives on race and sexuality were not accepted by the mainstream, lesbian feminism; and, black, lesbian feminists felt excluded from the movement.

Black, lesbian feminists were often ostracized in mainstream black movements based on their gender and sexual orientation; and, in white feminism, and black, lesbian women were often excluded in lesbian feminism based on their race. A defining moment for black, lesbian feminists took place in 1970 at the Black Panther’s Revolutionary People’s Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Several black, lesbian feminists confronted a group of white, lesbian feminists about their racially, exclusive agenda. Following this event, several groups began to include and organize around black lesbian politics. For example, in 1973 the National Black Feminist Organization was founded and included lesbian agenda. Additionally, in 1975 the Combahee River Collective was founded out of experiences and feelings of sexism in the black power movements and racism in the lesbian, feminist movement. The primary focus of this collective was to fight interlocking systems of oppression; raise awareness of these systems; and, create a group made up of difference by connected by solidarity. Lastly, in 1978 the National Coalition of Black Lesbians and Gay Men was founded. In addition to the multiple organizations that focused on black, lesbian feminism, there were many authors that contributed to this movement such as,Audre Lorde, Barbara Smith, Pat Parker, Kate Rushin, doris davenport, Cheryl Clarke, Margaret Sloan-Hunter, and a number of others.
