The United States of America, since its conception, has been built on violence and genocidal tactics fueled by colonialism, capitalism, patriarchy, and a gamut of additional forces of oppression. Lindsey's first book, Colored No More: Reinventing Black Womanhood in Washington D.C., detailed a dense geocultural journey of struggle and triumphs. Colored No More explored the intersectional challenges of race, class, gender, sexuality, the collective vision of freedom, equality, and the work of African American women in the 19th and 20th centuries.
