If you’ve ever been moved by or used these photos but don’t know anything about Gloria Richardson, take the time and read this. Listen to her wisdom now just like you listened to John Lewis. https://twitter.com/ddhewty/status/1337472056699592706

There’s a persistent pattern in how white (and some Black) liberals will worship the imagery of Black women being courageous in the face of white supremacist oppression but reduce them to flat icons with no dimension, no spirit, no thoughts and beliefs and agency.
Millions of liberals on this site who’ve tweeted and gushed over this photo of Ieshia Evans. How many know her name? How many know what she believes or thinks of our politics?
