Description
The Billboard is about a fictional Black women's clinic in Chicago's Englewood neighbourhood on the South Side and its fight with a local gadfly running for City Council. The conflict arises when the gadfly puts up a provocative billboard with the message: "Abortion is genocide. The most dangerous place for a Black child is his mother's womb."
This spurs the clinic to fight back with their own bold sign: "Black women take care of their families by taking care of themselves. Abortion is self-care. #Trust Black Women."
The book includes a foreword, afterword, and a Q&A with a founder of reproductive justice. As both a play and a book, The Billboard is a cultural force that treats abortion as more than just pro-life or pro-choice.
