The June of 1968 Edition of the YWCA Magazine: Special Issue on Racism
Jul 21, 2023
I am thrilled to re-release our YWCA Magazine Special Issue on Racism, originally published in June of 1968! We regularly peruse the YWCA Archives, and I will admit to being slightly obsessed. But when we poured through decades of YWCA Magazine in the archives now housed physically at Smith College and accessible to all now digitally, I knew instantly I wanted to share this edition with you — so you could see yourself in the reflection and be inspired.

We are proud to rerelease “The Rising Tide of Racial Consciousness” by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., originally published in the December 1960 issue of YWCA Magazine. The eloquence and booming veracity in his written words jump off the pages with the same strength he demonstrated in public, and they reverberate just as powerfully today: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Therefore, no American can afford to be apathetic about the problem of racial justice.”
