However. I would like to see more black women and women of color in this coverage, given the demographics of our country.
There’s an important historical aspect to the entitlement some men think they have to our bodies that disconnects when particularly black women & Native American women are omitted.
Slavery, the profit from it, the ongoing attack on Native Americans from the inception of America, is part of the story.
The whole story won’t fit in a news segment. But not including us erases that connection and us.

But as a start, this is good. This is the direction to head in.
