Born in 1949, and grew up in Tuskegee, Alabama. While Segrest’s parents were working to set up white private schools, she was fighting segregation. For six years, Segrest coordinated the work of the North Carolinians Against Racist and Religious Violence (NCARRV). She is the cofounder of Feminary: A Lesbian-Feminist Journal for the South and is the author of My Mama’s Dead Squirrel (1985) and Memoir of a Race Traitor (1994). She also coedited The Third Wave: Feminist Essays on Racism (1997). During her six years with NCARRV, Segrest dealt with many acts of violence perpetrated by the Klan. Many times she articulates the costs to her physical and mental health. The memory of past violence and the threat of future violence was always with her. Segrest states, “I had become a woman haunted by the dead…I was what the murderers would call a ‘n_____ lover’ and what they’d call a ♥♥♥♥.”
“The racism, the homophobia, the hatred of Jews and women, the greed accelerate, and they sicken us all. But we do not have to accept it. There is a lot to be done, but how we go about it is also important. Because all we have ever had is each other.”
