Denise Oliver-Velez 18x12 Framed poster
Enjoy this Variant of a collaborative work created by @StuddMuffinDesign and @Blurbsmithblots. The Freedom Fighter series was created to not only reintroduce Champions of the People back to the community but to reignite and inspire a generation to make their voices heard. Make a statement in any room with this framed poster, printed on thick, durable, matte paper. The matte black frame that's made from wood from renewable forests adds that extra touch.
"Dr. Oliver-Velez. One of Brooklyn’s finest; a political activist, community organizer, well-involved in the Civil Rights movement, women's movement, and AIDS activism movement of the 1960s & 70s. A member of both the Young Lords Party and the Black Panther Party. And while in the Young Lords, she challenged one of the organization's points in their 13-Point Program and Platform. According to Oliver-Velez, "I was in the Young Lords, and one of the points in the original program was ‘Revolutionary Machismo.’ Machismo is reactionary, so you can’t have revolutionary machismo. We women weren’t having it. So we made a very different kind of statement. ‘We want equality for women. Down with machismo and male chauvinism.'" She was the Executive Director of the Black Filmmaker Foundation. She has published ethnographic research as part of several HIV/AIDS intervention projects and is working on a book on the women of the Young Lords Party with co-author Iris Morales. She’s currently a Professor of Anthropology and Women’s Studies at SUNY New Paltz" -Maximo Anguiano @blurbsmithblots
