Black feminist politics have traditionally been theorized outside formal political institutions, necessitating a nuanced and capacious account of what Black feminist politics can be in formal political environments. Situating Black Feminist Politics from Kennedy to Trump in conversation with recent political changes, I explore the future of Black feminist politics in formal political institutions in an interview with Professor Duchess Harris. Ultimately, Harris recommends leaning into understanding Black women political elites as unique and incomparable to each other while also being attentive to how Black feminist politics may appear in formal political institutions
