Manhattan FULL VIDEO PREMIERE of

Pat! A Black Revolutionary Molecule, Parts 1 & 2

with a short reading from the novel To Face It, by author Lupe Family.

Pat video premiered in Dec. This is an expanded version of Pat’s life. There will be a short reading by the author, Lupe Family, of To Face It, the book that loosely features a character, Pam, based on Pat’s life.

Pat! A BLACK Revolutionary Molecule by Lupe Family showcases oral interviews with Patricia Murphy Robinson reflecting on her life of activism as part of the woman’s movement. Pat was an unsung sheroe, who inspired many people to seek social transformation during the political upheavals of the 1960s, 70s and beyond. The video centers her theoretical knowledge, the social change strategies she advocated, and her critique of the family under capitalism. The video, rendered in a creative and non-linear style, inspires audiences to seek social transformation.

A BLACK Revolutionary Molecule is part of a larger effort to recover Pat Robinson’s legacy, financially maintain her archives and raise public awareness of her historical importance. Robinson’s history has been written about by leading scholars such as Robin D.G. Kelley in Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination; Rhonda Y. Williams in Concrete Demands: The Search for Black Power in the 20th Century and Rosalyn Baxandall in Re-visioning the Women’s Liberation Movement’s Narrative: Early Second Wave African American Feminists.

Pat’s essays have appeared in seminal collections such as The Black Woman ed. Toni Cade Bambara, Malcolm X The Man and His Times ed. John Henrik Clarke, as well as in Redstockings and Lilith.

Historian Robyn C. Spencer is working on a biography of Robinson and served as historical consultant on this video. Robin Robinson Kirkpatrick, Robinson’s daughter, served as creative consultant.
