The 2020 global pandemic further underscored the need for justice and visibility for Black women. Despite occurring over two months earlier, the tragedy surrounding the killing of unarmed Breonna Taylor at the hands of police seemingly went unnoticed until the murder of George Floyd. This volume encompasses diverse disciplines to examine the marginalization and erasure of Black women. It recognizes their experiences, highlights their remarkable contributions, analyzes the treatment of women of African descent worldwide, and instills hope in the face of systemic racial oppression. Scholars analyze themes such as socio-political ignorance and the intersectionality of race and gender discrimination. The collection of essays empowers, inspires and informs readers, as it pays homage to the life of Breonna Taylor and forms a part of the continuum of works that celebrate, illuminate, and educate about the importance of Black and African American women.
