The 2024 HistoryMaker Awards will recognize the outstanding impact of The Combahee River Collective on their 50th anniversary. Active in Boston from December 1975 through June 1981, the CRC was one of the first groups to document the connection between racial injustice and other social inequities. Formed as a radical alternative to the National Black Feminist Organization and named after Harriet Tubman’s 1853 raid on the Combahee River that freed over 750 enslaved people, the CRC addressed the realities of Black women, may who identified as Black lesbians, who felt excluded from other feminist movements. Plus, the 2024 Lavender Rhino Award will go to Print Ain’t Dead, for their practice producing exhibitions, publications and public spaces that highlight Black, Brown and Indigenous artists and organizers, with an emphasis on queer and trans perspectives.
