African-American women have been fighting for equal rights for forever now. They tend to be the leaders of these fights, but never recognized. It is time for Black women to be given the recognition they deserve. As you can see throughout history, Black people have been attacked unjustly and there haven’t been repercussions that have impacted America. As a counter to the treatment of Black people in America, we have decided to protest. It is our right to protest but they seem to be a place to incarcerate Black people who want equal rights. Black women should be credited as the leaders of these movements. As I stated before, they have been fighting for equal rights for some time now. Their efforts have been overshadowed by white women and Black men, while they are shoved behind the scenes. Even though they start the conversations and the race to equality they are silenced. They carry the burdens of the Black community on their back but never portrayed as heroes like the white men you always read about.
Dear Arual :
I am mad by your post, “ Until Black Women are free, None of us will be free” because it is impressive the injustice these people have received are women. I can’t really describe how embarrassing this is as in my perspective
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “counter to the treatment of Black people in America, we have decided to protest. It is our right to protest but they seem to be a place to incarcerate Black people who want equal rights. Black women should be credited as the leaders of these movements.” I think this is amazing because everyone deserves to have the right to be here as an equivalent person.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because it’s interesting how we all can relate to the same how miss treated we can be without knowing as a matter of fact. I personally wouldn’t want this to come through our life. But I can assure you that it’s considered cruelty.
