YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this compelling excerpt from Marc Lamont Hill’s NIGHT SCHOOL, Dr. Treva B. Lindsey, a renowned Black feminist scholar and proud Delta Sigma Theta member, delivers a powerful critique of respectability politics within Black Greek life. Reflecting on Delta’s radical origins and the historic 1913 split from Alpha Kappa Alpha, Dr. Lindsey passionately highlights how her sorority’s legacy of activism—spanning suffrage marches to modern battles for housing rights, LGBTQ+ equality, and reproductive justice—continues to inspire transformative change.
This must-watch conversation examines the tension between tradition and radicalism within Black sororities and explores the critical role they play in advancing social justice.
Why It Matters:
Black Greek organizations often face accusations of elitism and detachment from grassroots struggles. Dr. Lindsey pushes back, celebrating the radical roots of Delta Sigma Theta while urging these organizations to remain committed to their founding principles of sisterhood and service.
