hi
write a speech about a black women
Answers
Answer:
For many people, the definition [of their identity] is based on who we are not, it’s based on who we don’t want to be, who we don’t want to be perceived like. White taught me what black was not. Male taught me what female was not. Straight taught me what gay was not. Sad taught me what happy was not. Law taught me what equality and equity were not.
But our charge is not to live within this negative space of who we are not to be. Who are we not to be, after all?
Our community has sparked powerful, insightful and fierce black girls, and this community exists without definition and therefore without restriction.
Black Girls Rock! inspires us to lead in the midst of hard times, speak up for one another who are actively being silenced, and push forward. The way that our ancestors have so clearly planned for us to do. We thrive because we are, we are because we chose to be.
After an introduction by Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Warren approached the podium and began to talk about the Washerwomen’s Strike of 1881, the culmination of months of honing her message about racial and economic justice. Speaking to a crowd of roughly two thousand people at Clark Atlanta University, a historically black institution, Warren’s speech linked the history of black women’s movements to the fight for racial and economic justice. “The fighters I want to talk about tonight,” she said, “are Black women.”
But before the Massachusetts Senator could get going, there was a ripple in the room. A group of roughly two dozen pro-charter school activists—many of them black women who had travelled to Georgia for the occasion—began protesting Warren’s opposition to some forms of charter schools. The optics were both awkward and ironic: Warren, a white woman, poised to give speech about the disruptive power of black women activists, was being disrupted by black women activists.
