The Most Unprotected Person in America

My project was inspired by the use of language in regards to black women being sexually assaulted since the Reconstruction Era. I took quotes from old newspapers such as the AZ Republican and various black newspapers, as well as quotes from articles about the treatment of black women during the Reconstruction Era. I used the Malcolm X quote because I felt as if it summed up the experience of black women in America throughout history. The photo I used was also from the civil rights era. This photo conveyed the message that despite all of the injustice and trauma black women have faced, we remain resilient.
