In Mourning and Rage

[@angelapritchard6640]

Amazing. Powerful! I was in high school in Los Angeles on this day , never having heard anything about this. This piece is so far ahead of its time. Clearly it reflects many hours of thought , preparation and rehearsal. Just the image of women being so tall is revolutionary. I would love to see this reproduced today.

I did not know this got filmed. Amazing to see it. It was a powerful event. They asked me to write a song and sing it at the gathering, which I did, called FIGHT BACK. Not part of this clip. Dont remember when in the ceremony I sang it. Thanks to all the women who made it happen I remember all the "tall" women getting out of the limo. It was amazing.

What color were the shawls that were placed over the shoulders of each woman when she spoke at the mic?

1978 and look where we are now :( Things have not gotten better, and those statistics given by the women have only increased. We need to fight back, sisters.

Has anything come of Suzanne Lacy's decree to establish women's self-defense classes at schools and government offices? Anything from a company that offers it or maybe a law or policy that got written?
