This book discuses black bodies and their depiction in media sit pertains to fatphobia. The cover is an art image of Sarah Baartman who we discussed in class. I was recommended this book before ever taking this class but the cover itself I mixed feelings on one hand it is relevant to the topic discussed in the book. On the other hand I worry that the exaggerated image furthers misogynoir by using Sarah's image as a catchy cover to sell the book.

The museums of Black Joy's mission statement is to celebrate, cultivate. commemorate, and circulate stories that centers black joy. Scrolling through their website you can see some amazing work from black artists. In class we watched a video about black trans people in relationships. In the quiz question response I discussed how important spaces are for those communities. Websites like this apply to that stamenant. For a group of people that face so much hardship joy is extremely important.

Black population in the US and Black population in US prisons graph 

# data[].attributes.body
This graphs show the Black population of the US compared to the Black population in prisons. What really caught my attention here was the fact that Black people only make up about 14% of our population but almost half of the people serving/have served 10 years in prison. This large number leads me to think about discussions in class about mass incarnation and institutionalized racism. I wonder why when looking at these numbers people still deny Black people being wrongfully incarcerated on a large rate?

This is a piece done by a anonymous collective of Black women/women aligned artists. This piece caught my eye because I loved the creativity of embroidering yarn onto paper to create hair. This made me think about the discussion in class we had about black hair. We discussed how often Black people are discriminated against for their hair styles. I think it is beautiful to see art that centers black clutre in empowering way.

This is Congress woman Jasmine Crockett's official picture. This image struck me because of her hair. In class we discussed protective styles often being called unprofessional.

This graph shows how many black people reported having a mental illness in 2018. The large number shocked me and made me think about a discussion had in class. In class we discussed how thing lick cutting is more common among white people. The theory is to why is because black people may have better coping skills but I wonder how many black people don't seek help for mental illness due to a cultural idea that black people handle stress better.

This is a photo from a Protest in Baton Rouge. This protest was staged due to the murder of Alton Sterling.

This movie is a dramatic reenactment of the historical situation where a platoon of all black female soldiers were sent to sort out back logged mail in WWII. This movie also covers the discrimination and doubt these women faced, as well as their success.

This film discusses African American cuisine and how it shaped American food as we know it today. This film makes me think a lot about food as it applies to cultural and racial identity.

I myself have seen these videos in my fyp previously to this video showing up I had not realized that the women in these videos tend to be black women. The video discusses the racist idea and stereotype that black women are over sexual leads to them being thought of as not dating material.

This video talks about a young black girl whose prom photos went viral. I saw this video only a few days after we had watched the film about Sarah Baartman in class. It was upsetting to see that black women's bodies are still to the day seen as something to gawk at and critique. The entire internet felt they had the right to comment on this young woman's appearance. This is an example of how misogynoir is still alive and well in today's society.

The creator stitches a video where a woman is saying she will teach her son that there is a difference between "diamond and dirt". The woman who stitches it has some excellent points. To add onto what the creator says at the beginning of the video I would say this idea very much so it plays into respectability politics. This idea that black women should act a certain way if they want to be treated well and with respect.

This stand comedy video is a comedic take on DEI and its removal from the government. We have discussed DEI in class at length.

This video discusses "the immortal woman" Henrietta Lacks. Henrietta's cells are being used to this today without consent from her family. Henrietta's case speaks to racism in the medical field.

This book by Dr. Baden discusses his efforts for racial justice through his job as a forensic pathologist. This book really gave me context as to how deep initial racism goes in our justice department. When we talk about police brutality I now feel we must also discuss all of the institutions that work with police such as the courts and medical examiners. For they too are complicit in the deaths caused by police brutality and a lack of justice those cases receive. It reminded me of the discussion we had in class about police brutality and how deeply embedded it is in the criminal justice system.

This piece art was made after the verdict was handed down in the case of the death of Michael Stewart. I read about it in a book and felt the need to look it up. This image I think evokes a lot of feeling. We have a dark figure being around by figures in police uniforms beating the dark figure with batons. The police officers face looking almost monster like I think speaks a lot to how POC view police. As well as the dark figure having no distinguishing features adds to how police view POC.

We see in the this graph that in the 1960s and 70s Black women’s wages increase relative to White women’s wages. I wondered why and it made think of the waves of feminism discussion in class. I thought of the fact that more black women were working compared to white women.

For this graph people were asked what you had heard of Black Lives Matter is it a movement or a slogan? The majority of African Americans said movement while the rest of the respondents majority said slogan. We discussed the BLM movement in class. This graph got me thinking about how a movement is much more than a slogan. I wonder if white people would better understand BLM better if they looked at it as a movement instead of just a saying?

This graph looks at the African American population of states/cities and the deaths of COVID 19. I was surprised to see that in Louisiana Black people make up 32% of the population but 70% of the states COVID deaths. In class we once discussed Black Americans and health. We discussed how black people may not feel comfortable going to doctor due to discrimination and generational trauma. Numbers like these make me better understand why Black people may be wary of doctors/hospitals. It would be scary to walk into a place that a lot of Black people don't seem to walk out of.

# data[].attributes.body
This graph talks bout new HIV cases in the south stating that African Americans account for 54% of all new diagnoses in the region. I had no idea that HIV affected African Americans this much. One reason I thought this might be is that the south tends to be more religious and have less sex education leading to higher rates of HIV. Black Americans lack of access to testing and fear of discrimination may also add to the problem.

This graph shows Homicide rates by firearm in 2014. This graph shows that Black men are disproportionately affected by homicide by firearm.

This Graph shows welfare recipients by Race. It shows that white and Hispanic people use the majority of welfare. I find this interesting because there is a stereotype of Black Women in the media called "welfare queens" that we discussed in class. This stereotype lives on even when it's disproved by facts. I think this stereotype enduring is a good reason as to why we need to be aware of who is telling black stories.

This graph shows the rising numbers of Black people elected to Congress. This made me think of conversations we had in class about the lack of representation of Black people in the government.

This post goes over some great ways to be anti-racist. One of the things that is mentioned in the video is the misleading idea that just because you are a "good person" you can't be racist. In class we have often discussed peoples difficulty moving beyond just the idea of interpersonal racist and onto institutionalized racism. I think talking about how "good" people can participate in racism is a good way to start realizing that racism is larger than just hate between people.

I think this video is a good summary of the concept of environmental racism. Environmental racism is something I was not aware of previous to our class discussions. This video also discusses Flit, Michigan and its water contamination problem. Something else the video emotions that I did not know was that 56% of Flits's population is Black. Institutionalized racism plays a large role in environmental racism with things like redlining, wealth disparity, and low fines for dumping waste in these areas.

This is a video of Kathleen Cleaver a former Black Panther Activist speaking about violence versus non violence.

This funny video of a Black woman getting taken out of the fantasy of reading a book. This video had thousands of likes and if so many people can relate to this I think it speaks to a larger issue of lack of Black representation in books.

If we have this much of a lack of Black representation in books that speaks to what stories are getting published and what stories are not.

This video discusses the Black best friend trope in books and TV. I think this speaks to the idea that representation is a lot more than just having POC in your book.

Our Priorities for 2024

Protecting Our Right to Vote

States have introduced hundreds of measures to restrict the right to vote. Our democracy must meet these challenges by adopting reforms that promote safe and accessible elections.

Quality Care for Black Americans

Over 10 million people have lost their Medicaid health coverage, with communities of color bearing the brunt of the impact. The federal government has the power to provide incentives and urge these state leaders to take the actions necessary to pause unwinding, and create an automated renewal process.

Fighting for Good Jobs

The NAACP is proud to continue standing in solidarity with our fellow advocates in the labor movement. As we continuously engage in conversations with corporations and Congressional members, one thing is clear - enacting a living, minimum wage nationwide is imperative.

Putting Black America First

The future of our democracy lies in America's forgotten corners. That's why the NAACP is working hard to recruit 300K volunteers across the country ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

Driving Quality of Life through Data

NAACP and Brookings have partnered on The Black Progress Index, a new analysis of the places where Black people are thriving most, as measured through their life expectancy. In the spirit of W.E.B. Du Bois, we're working to provide insight into the local civic actions that can improve life expectancy outcomes.
