요약This study examines the experiences and activism of Black college women during the Black Freedom Struggle in higher education. Historical studies of the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements on college campuses have perpetuated the exclusion of Black college women in the dominant narrative, suggesting that their participation and advocacy in a movement to advance Black equality and liberation was passive or even absent. This misrepresentation renders the voices of a significant demographic to the margins, affecting how scholars understand this era and movement. This study brings the voices of Black college women to the center and highlights the ways in which these women were not only active in the struggle but challenged the status quo through their different approaches to activism work.Historical primary source evidence is provided through the testimonies of three narrators who were undergraduate students at the University of Florida in the 1960s and early 1970s. Their oral histories, along with archival primary sources, extend what historians have offered in studying the Black Freedom Struggle during the mid to late twentieth century. More importantly, this dissertation adds a necessary analysis and understanding of the movement through the accounts of Black college women. The findings of this study illuminate their approaches and strategies to advance the movement on campus through their inconspicuous and visible expressions of activism. It also explores the racialized socio-political dynamic of a newly desegregated institution and what these college women endured on and off campus. This study argues that Black college women's activism and contributions to the Black Freedom Struggle on campus varied in approach and strategy. Their efforts were not isolated or limited to how activism has been traditionally defined but instead proposed a multi-dimensional vision of social action. The courage and experiences of these pioneering college women offer instructive examples of Black student activism during a time of racial conflict in higher education.
