#saturday Thank u Ms. Opal Lee 4 ur tireless work in bringing this important day into focus 4 all of us. No one is free until we’re all free… #juneteenth #opallee #saturdayvibes #celebratetoday #Repost @thelilynews ・・・ Opal Lee, a 93-year-old former educator and children’s book author, has been pushing for Juneteenth to be recognized as a federal holiday for years. In 2017, she embarked on a months-long journey that brought her to Washington, D.C., in an effort to make it happen. Lily contributor Soo Youn (@sooayoun) spoke with Lee about the widespread recognition of Juneteenth this year and whether the country is in the midst of meaningful change in regards to racial justice. “We’ve got to address these atrocities. … We’ve got a job to do. I hope things will change. We’ve had some gains, but not enough to be shouting about. We’ve still got a long way to go,” Lee said. See our link in bio to read the full story.

This is something you never hear about. #Repost @thelilynews with @make_repost ・・・ Susanna Cox cannot vote. For the 39-year-old engineer to register, she would have to make her address publicly available. As a domestic violence survivor who is living as off the grid as possible, that is simply not an option, writes Soo Youn (@sooayoun) in @thelilynews. It’s a decision many domestic violence survivors face throughout the United States. With voter information tied to home addresses, many feel participating in an election could put them at risk. But some states are working to fix the problem. Visit our link in bio to read the full story. #thelilynews https://www.instagram.com/p/CGLJIephzIB/?igshid=eltxose7adf

A Ty, co robisz dla planety? 🌍 #Repost @thelilynews • • • • • On Friday, students worldwide skipped school and took to the streets to urgently demand that adults combat the perils of climate change. The “Global Strike 4 Climate” stretched to every continent, across more than 100 countries and 1,700 locations, from India to South Africa to Greenland. It was the largest manifestation to date of the Fridays for Future movement, in which students forgo classes each week in favor of pleading for action on an issue that will affect every person on the planet, but young people most of all.

The Erased Presence of Black Women: The Black Panthers Party

    Being a black woman, I’ve always been conscious of the muffled forms black females are excluded, neglected and rejected in our society.  From media ads to movies, fashion, politics you name it, one common trait is the invisibility of the black female. Yes, in these recent years a wave of inclusion has emerged yet, I question the purity of it. Is it capitalisms’ way of protecting its consumer base by giving in to the demands of the people so that they can keep generating big figures? Or companies are being occupied by conscious people? Regardless, there is a lot of patterns to be undone and educating to be cultivated in order to transform drastically into a more inclusive society.

    For this semester, one of the classes I decided to take was a feminist theory and methodology class, and out of the many things we’ve talked about, one was the suffrage movement. Something that stuck with me, was that even though feminisms’ main subject focus is women, the questions and doubts come up about feminism and how some sectors just focus on white privileged women and cancel out intersectionality, which include all women, being of color, trans, queer, etc. and separate them as a different category as if they weren’t women at all. All this is something I could go in more depth to, but something even more impacting that I’ve come to discover is how black women during the suffrage movement (although still happening in 2018) faced opposition to their claims, objectification and interiorization by their own community, from black men. (Bryson, 2003). Now, imagine facing injustices and oppression due to the color of your skin but, on top of that, more oppression emitted from an oppressed sector.

More specifically I want to talk about the Black Panthers Party, founded in the late 60’s by two male college students, Huey Newton and Bobby Seale as a way of fighting against police brutality against African Americans (History, 2017). Something that most people don’t know is that the predominance of woman in the party was strongly high. But even their fellow male comrades invisibilized their collaboration and proceeded to valorize the patriarchal order of revolution being tied to men only. After the leader of the party exiled to Cuba, its first female leader, Elaine Brown was appointed (New York Times, 2017). Brown has expressed that during her leadership, her authority was often questioned by male figures, due to her gender. And she found herself having to reciprocate patriarchal mannerisms in which men tend to respond to, in order to minimize their questioning.  In her book , A Taste of Power  she mentions “If a black woman assumed the role of leadership, she was said to be eroding black manhood by hindering the progress of the black race”. This quote just makes me infuriated, but one thing I can interpret  from it is fear. One thing that is common in people who tend to subordinate, and discriminate others is that they fear. Fear that they’re privilege is going to be questioned and taken away. Fear to learn something different from what they’re told. This quote express clearly, how men are raised into thinking they are supposed to be the dominant one’s in every situation and if they aren’t in possession of the situation their masculinity starts to be erased and distorted.  In one of her many statements, she mentions how men felt like her being in command was a threat and that it made them question their relationships with other females in the party and how they address to them.  There’s a quote where she says that one of the men was saying that they can no longer call women bitches (The Lily, 2018). It awes me how someone (in this case African American men) who’s having a direct experience of oppression and inequality and is conscious that it’s unfair and illogical, yet actively participates in doing the same against someone who already receives the same discrimination and undermining as you.

    Brown also states how back then, she didn’t really identify with feminism due to, what I mentioned earlier about it being only for a certain type of woman, the middle-class white woman, which was at that time how feminism was being projected by radical feminists (O’Gara, 1994).  In addition, she mentions how she didn’t always speak up about female subordination in the party. Which is a common tendency in woman because we are structured to stay “in our place” when it comes to addressing a man. What I’m trying to get to is, that this, needs to change. We black women and women in general, need to denounce these actions. And more specifically, I want my fellow black women to realize that feminism is for all of us. That the presence and participation of every woman is necessary if we want to overthrow this patriarchal structure and provoke the questioning of power dynamics in order to progress.

From @thelilynews: This Paralympic Games, which started on Aug. 23 after a year-long delay for the 4,405 competitors due to the coronavirus pandemic, has already made history. For the first time since the debut of the Paralympics in 1960, Paralympians will be paid the same for their medal wins as their Olympic peers. Because the U.S. government doesn’t financially support its Olympic or Paralympic athletes, the winnings are especially dear to these athletes who often need expensive and custom gear. Here are some of the trailblazers who have further changed the Games this year. To read more, click the link in our bio.
