She is a co-editor of "Want to Start A Revolution?” Radical Women in the Black Freedom Struggle, with Jeanne Theoharis and Komozi Woodard.

Professor Gore has worked on anti-police violence issues with organizations including the Black Radical Congress, New York’s Coalition Against Police Brutality (CAPB), and the Audre Lorde Project’s Anti-Police Violence Working Groups.

I joined SSJ because researching and writing about histories of black feminist leadership and black radical politics, while important, is not nearly enough to win the fight for social justice and liberation.
