The Consciousness-Raising Document, Feminist Anthologies, and Black Women in Sisterhood Is Powerful.

The article investigates the consciousness-raising (CR) document written by the Black Women's Liberation Group of Mount Vernon in Westchester, New York, which appeared in the American Second Wave women's anthology "Sisterhood Is Powerful." The CR document was used by the African American women or the black feminists in expressing their demand for race-consciousness or sisterhood in the American Second Wave movement. The collection supported the black feminists's effort to establish a race-conscious women's campaign, as well as a gender-conscious black liberation crusade.
