Legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw talks about the rise of the #SayHerName movement, why Black women are seen and treated differently by both the police and nation at large, and how intersectional activists are fighting anti-Black state violence by addressing its root causes – patriarchy, racism and police impunity.
Kimberlé co-authored the #SayHerName report for the African American Policy Forum.
Kimberlé Crenshaw is director of the Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies at Columbia Law School, and co-founder of the African American Policy Forum.
