This latest installment of the NYTimes\u00a0\u201cConversation on Race\u201d Op-Doc video series highlights the negative emotional impact of racist attitudes on black women\u2019s lives. Everyone we reached out to for this project was eager to tell her most intimate stories of pain and discrimination, from childhood, to work, to profiling by the police. We hope that in sharing them, we are helping to complicate the public representations of black women and girls \u2014 highlighting the unique challenges they face, as well as experiences and feelings that are universal.<\/p>\n

From Harriet Tubman to Ida B. Wells to Dorothy Height, black women have been heavy presences in social justice movements throughout history. However, issues particular to these women are often relegated to secondary status in our collective consciousness. This seems to be changing. Recent events in Texas, Baltimore and Missouri show that black women are again in leadership roles, and are speaking out against the mistreatment they regularly experience. But in our nation\u2019s current movement for social justice, women\u2019s voices need a louder bullhorn. Conversations like the one we\u2019re hoping to start with this Op-Doc are a first step to understanding, and to changing.<\/p>\n
