Black Lives Matter

i was just thinking about that kind of suffrage organizing work back inthe towards the end of the nineteenth century. And in our seeing white series, we talked about how whiteness is this kind of active tool that powerful people can use to get poor folks to a line with them. So whiteness appears again as this oppressive, anti democratic weapon. i'm glad you all took a minute to reflect on the work of queen mother moore and ida b wells. It's such an important insight, isn't it? That a major impetus for the modern civil rights movement was black women,. Black women have had it up to here with being sexually abused and assaulted by white men.
