Black Women Demand Justice, Accountability at March

by Sam P.K. CollinsOctober 3, 2018October 31, 2020

With the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) set to expire, Black women flooded the streets of D.C. and New York City over the weekend to demand reauthorization of a law that funds services for sexual assault victims and establishes law enforcement responses to rape.

Supporters of the Blueprint for Black Women met at Seward Square and Black Women for Racial Justice met at Lincoln Park in Southeast where they converged in a March for Black Women, walking to the Justice Department and ending on the National Mall on Sept. 30. The march was held 20 years after the Million Women March to bring attention to the injustices Black women face. (Shevry Lassiter/The Washington Informer)
