Description

Fill the void. Lift your voice. Say Her Name.

#SayHerName highlights the tragic cases of Breonna Taylor, Alberta Spruill, Rekia Boyd, Shantel Davis, Shelly Frey, Kayla Moore, Kyam Livingston, Miriam Carey, Michelle Cusseaux, and Tanisha Anderson, among many others whose lives should have been.

This book provides an analytical framework for understanding Black women's susceptibility to police brutality and state-sanctioned violence. It explains how, through black feminist storytelling and ritual, we can effectively mobilize various communities and empower them to advocate for racial justice.

By centering Black women's experiences in police violence and gender violence discourses, #SayHerName sends the powerful message that all Black lives matter and that law enforcement cannot act with impunity. This is a powerful story of Black feminist practice, community-building, enablement, and Black feminist reckoning.

About the Author

Kimberle Crenshaw, Professor of Law at UCLA and Columbia Law School, is a leading authority in the area of Civil Rights, Black feminist legal theory, and race, racism, and the law. Her work has been foundational in two fields of study that have come to be known by terms that she coined: Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality. She co-founded and serves as the Executive Director of the African American Policy Forum

Founded in 1996, The African American Policy Forum is an innovative think tank that connects academics, activists and policy-makers to promote efforts to dismantle structural inequality. We utilize new ideas and innovative perspectives to transform public discourse and policy. AAPF promotes frameworks and strategies that address a vision of racial justice that embraces the intersections of race, gender, class, and the array of barriers that disempower those who are marginalized in society. AAPF is dedicated to advancing and expanding racial justice, gender equality, and the indivisibility of all human rights, both in the United States and internationally.
