Breonna Taylor, invisible Black women and God who sees us
From The Baptist Standard:
“The irony of the lack of the attention to state violence against Black women is that for centuries black women—like Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, Mamie Till, Rosa Parks, Jo Ann Robinson, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi—have done and are doing the unseen work of organizing, documenting and protesting white supremacy and misogyny in this country.
Black women, out of a deep sense of love and desire for freedom for themselves and for others, are committed to this often backbreaking and soul-crushing work, perhaps reasoning if we can free ourselves, then we can free our Black brothers and non-Black sisters from chains of racism and misogyny that for so long have gripped this nation and our church.”
