SPEAKER_00: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Womanica. This month we're highlighting ragers, women who use their anger, often righteous, though not always, to accomplish extraordinary things. Today we're talking about an activist who fought for change for more than 70 years. Her intersectional organizing work helped create community in one of America's toughest cities, Detroit. Let's talk about Grace Lee Boggs. Grace Lee was born to Chinese immigrant parents on June 27th, 1915 in Providence, Rhode Island. Her family moved to New York City a few years later, where her father owned a restaurant on Broadway. While New York City awarded Grace's family a comfortable middle-class life, it was far from perfect. Growing up in Jackson Heights, Grace quickly realized she and her parents were the only Chinese family in the neighborhood. She struggled to form her identity and felt that she could not be Chinese and American at the same time. In 1935, Grace graduated from Barnard College before earning her PhD in philosophy from Bryn Mawr. It was after graduating that Grace was fully exposed to the inequities of America. She applied to retail jobs that turned her away because of her race. When she did find work at the University of Chicago, the pay was so low that she couldn't afford housing. Her only option was to live in a rent-free, rat-infested basement. One day while walking through her neighborhood, Grace saw a group of people protesting poor living conditions. They were advocating for tenants of a majority-black neighborhood. But the problems they were speaking out against sounded just like the issues Grace had been encountering day after day. In listening to their pleas, Grace felt an instant connection. From then on, Grace devoted herself to the fight for equal rights. In the early 1950s, Grace moved to ground zero of the labor fight, Detroit. She got a job writing for the radical newsletter, Correspondence. It was there, in Detroit, that she met and married political activist, James Boggs. At the time, interracial marriage was still banned in several states. Together, the couple became Detroit's most prominent activists, fighting for equal rights, labor rights, women's rights, and the environment. Grace and James' home became the headquarters for community work and activism. Malcolm X even stayed there. While he was there, Grace tried to convince him to run for Senate. Grace and James also helped organize Martin Luther King Jr.'s march in Detroit in 1963. Grace listened and learned from the activists around her. She advocated for nonviolence and emphasized education on the local level. Grace was a revolutionary through and through, but she believed that revolution happened on an individual level, through personal experience, and through taking personal responsibility for social change. In 1967, civil unrest in Detroit erupted. In the aftermath, Detroit experienced white flight and many buildings remained destroyed. So Grace shifted her work to focus on rebuilding Detroit's neighborhoods. She founded many community groups that supported the elderly, unionized workers, and fought utility shutoffs. She also started a food co-op to provide her neighbors with groceries at a fair price. Grace also promoted civic reform through her writing. She had a weekly column in the Michigan Citizen and authored multiple books, including one with James. In 1992, Grace and James founded a youth program called Detroit Summer. The nonprofit provided Detroit's youth with a safe place to go while teaching them to support their community. Today, the group continues planting community gardens, painting murals, and rebuilding houses. In 1993, James Boggs died, but Grace did not stop fighting for her community. She continued advocating for change through her talks and writing with her 1998 autobiography, Living for Change, and her final work, The Next American Revolution, Sustainable Activism for the 21st Century. In 2013, she established a charter elementary school in Detroit named the James and Grace Lee Boggs School. On June 27th, 2015, Grace Lee Boggs celebrated her 100th birthday in hospice care. A few months later, she passed away. Grace's career was honored in a PBS documentary called American Revolutionary, the Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs, and her legacy lives on through the students who volunteer at her community programs. All month, we're talking about ragers. For more information, check us out on Facebook and Instagram at Womanica Podcast. Special thanks to Liz Kaplan, my favorite sister and co-creator.
