Interviewed in Los Angeles, CA,, Regina Owens-Durant (born 1950 VA) spoke about her early life, family, and education as well as the individuals who most influenced her. She explained how she identifies herself. Owens-Durant expressed her thoughts on ethnicity and how ethnic identification affected her life; her thoughts on black community, empowerment, independence, and self-determination; and her thoughts on identifying the black community as one group or many different groups. She stated groups/affiliations she belongs to/activities she is involved in, any social activism work, and how she stays in touch with African Americans and the African American community, including publications, websites, other communication/media, conferences, and celebrations/events. Owens-Durant spoke of her work with unions, the Department of Children and Family Services, Black Family Reunion, and National Council of Negro Women. She explained how emphasizing African descent in one's appearance relate to social change in America. Owens-Durant talked about the accuracy of African American history and how African American people, particularly African American women, are portrayed. She explained how knowing history influences what is happening now and in the future; where women fit in in terms of passing on history; and what African American women can accomplish personally in their everyday lives to affect change. Owens-Durant described what she would change, what she would build, and what she would eliminate with unlimited power and/or resources.
