Crenshaw, Kimberle Williams. Black Girls Matter: Pushed Out, Overpoliced, And Underprotected. African American Policy Forum and Center For Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies, 2015. “…seeks to increase awareness of the gendered consequences of disciplinary and push-out policies for girls of color, and, in particular, Black girls.” Dias, Marley. 1000 Black Girl Books Resource Guide. A resource guide created from the #1000blackgirlbooks campaign led by Marley Dias. Marley posted this 4 years ago this week - as a 12 year old. Proudfoot, Ben. “Meet the First Woman Officially Drafted by the N.B.A.” New York Times Opinion video featuring Lusia Harris, 29 June 2021. “As a child growing up [in the 1970s] in rural Mississippi, Lusia “Lucy” Harris often stayed up past her bedtime watching her favorite N.B.A. players, dreaming of one day playing on the same courts. Reaching 6 feet 3 inches by the time she was in high school, Harris was often called “long and tall and that’s all” by her classmates — but she knew her height would be an asset on the court. And she wasn’t just tall enough to play the game. She was a rare talent who would go on to be a three-time national college champion and an Olympic silver medalist, making her a national sensation by the time she finished her college career.” |
