Please join Roopika Risam (Salem State University) and Carol Stabile (University of Oregon), co-founders of the Reanimate (reanimatepublishing.org) publishing collective, and student editorial assistants Malia Mulligan and Morning Glory Ritchie (University of Oregon) for a celebration and discussion of Fredi Washington: A Reader in Black Feminist Media Criticism, with special guest speaker Laurie Avant Woodard (City College of New York).
Published as part of the Reanimate publishing collective’s commitment to recovering the unheard voices of women and women of color in media industries, Fredi Washington transcribes the 305 columns Washington wrote for The People’s Voice and makes them available in open access format through the University of Minnesota Press’s Manifold platform. The reader also includes an introduction to the life and work of Washington written by Laurie Avant Woodard, who is writing the much-awaited first biography of Washington.
