whoneedsfeminism:

i need feminism because as a black woman, my race and sex intersect to form a double oppression. I need feminism to help white women and black men understand the unique struggle of women of color.

Slavery was abolished in the District of Columbia by Congress on this day. One million dollars was appropriated to compensate owners of freed slaves, and $100,000 was set aside to pay district slaves who wished to emigrate to Haiti, Liberia or any other country outside the United States.

I need feminism because I can think of too many damn reasons why I need feminism.

• A period-piece set during the Harlem Reinassance.
• A POC steampunk sci-fi series.
• A “Devil In a Blue Dress” era show set in Los Angeles.
• A “Posse”-like Western set in the Wild West, featuring mostly Blacks, Asians and Native Americans.

All of these would be dope. Especially the period piece set in during the Harlem Renaissance. Just the wardrobe alone would make it worth watching.
