Poster from the National Black Feminist Organization on Feminist Revolution.

The National Black Feminist Organization (NFBO) focuses on the intersection of sexism and racism.

"The 1973 Statement of Purpose for the NBFO declared the organization was formed, 'to address ourselves to the particular and specific needs of the larger, but almost cast-aside half of the black race in Amerikkka, the black woman'" (Wada, 2008).
