Allyson Hobbs : Interview for Stanford Community Women's March Oral History Project
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
<html>In this account of her trip to the Women’s March on Washington, Allyson Hobbs recalls learning about the Women’s March in the wake of the 2016 election and the excitement expressed by students in her class on American road trips at the prospect of attending. She recalls working with her colleague Estelle Freedman to coordinate logistics for the Stanford Community Marches, an independent group of students, staff, faculty, and alums who traveled to Washington DC to participate in the march. Topics include the tremendous crowds at the march, the panorama of progressive groups that were present, chants and signs, and the diversity of the march.
Hobbs is an Associate Professor of United States History and Director of African and African American Studies at Stanford. Her work includes the award-winning A Chosen Exile: A History of Racial Passing in American Life (2014), and Far From Sanctuary: African American Travel and the Road to Civil Rights (forthcoming), which explores the experiences of African American motorists during the era of Jim Crow laws and segregation. </html>
