Black women in America have a complex history marked by both significant struggle and remarkable achievement. They have made profound contributions to the nation's culture, economy, and political landscape while facing persistent challenges at the intersection of racism and sexism.
Intersection of race and gender:Black women have a unique standpoint from which they experience both racial and gender-based oppression.
Forced labor and extraction:The nation's early wealth was built on the forced and unpaid labor of Black women.
Historical mistreatment:They have historically been dehumanized, with racist ideologies portraying them as hyper-sexualized, not attached to their children, and fit only for breeding.
Violence and policing:Black women face disproportionate violence. They are a third of all women killed by police, despite being less than 10% of the population. A majority of those Black women were unarmed. Black women also face high rates of intimate partner violence and rape.
Activism and resilience:Despite these challenges, Black women have been on the front lines of the fight for equality, organizing, testifying, and marching for change. Their contributions have been critical to both the Civil Rights Movement and the women's rights movement, though often overlooked.
