"I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes…No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife."
-Zora Neale Hurston, "How It Feels to Be Colored Me"
From their COVID-19 bunker deep in the woods of Massachusetts, three sisters— a novelist, a historian and a playwright/professor— discuss the new FX mini-series Mrs. America.
Through a Black feminist lens, Kaitlyn, Kerri and Kirsten Greenidge sort through the history referenced in the show and discuss why it's still relevant today.
