With few exceptions, black women have been perceived as supporting actresses; as behind-the-scenes or peripheral activists, or rank and file party members. But what about Vicki Garvin, a Brooklyn-born activist who became a leader of the National Negro Labor Council and guide to Malcolm X on his travels through Africa? What about Shirley Chisholm, the first black Congresswoman? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom Rosa Parks and Esther Cooper Jackson, to Shirley Graham DuBois and Assata Shakur, a host of women demonstrated a lifelong commitment to radical change, embracing multiple roles to sustain the movement, founding numerous groups and mentoring younger activists. Helping to create the groundwork and continuity for the movement by operating as local organizers, international mobilizers, and charismatic leaders, the stories of the women profiled in \u003ci\u003eWant to Start a Revolution?\u003c\/i\u003e help shatter the pervasive and imbalanced image of women on the sidelines of the black freedom struggle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e Margo Natalie Crawford, Prudence Cumberbatch, Johanna Fern疣dez, Diane C.
