Racism has been the achilles heel of American democracy since its founding as a racialized project, predicated on theft of land, of labor and of the reproductive autonomy of Black women. These are truths that Maga extremists want to erase. But it is not just history that Maga wants to silence and it isn’t just Maga that has acquiesced.

If there are two things it makes sense to bet against these days, they are the United States of America and the movies. The faltering status of both institutional bedrocks is well-known. It’s understood they are on the way out; it’s common wisdom, the stuff of countless op-eds online, of conversations at work, over dinner, wherever.

Fill the void. Lift your voice. Say Her Name. Black women, girls, and femmes as young as seven and as old as 93 have been killed by the police, though we rarely hear their names or learn their stories. Breonna Taylor, Alberta Spruill, Rekia Boyd, Shantel Davis, Shelly Frey, Kayla Moore, Kyam Livingston, Miriam Carey, Michelle Cusseaux, and Tanisha Anderson are among the many lives that should have been.

I am standing in an air-conditioned auditorium thinking about Michelle Cusseaux and the countless other Black women killed by the police whose deaths “no one was paying attention” to. My audience on this balmy spring day is mostly made up of public interest lawyers, students, and faculty.

At a WinCo grocery store in a suburb outside of Los Angeles, a Black woman is attacked by police officers for recording them on her cellphone as they held down and handcuffed her husband. A police officer then pulls this unnamed woman by the neck, flings her to the ground and kneels on her in a terrifying scene that has become eerily and tragically familiar: “I can’t breathe,” she said. We do not know this Black woman’s name. We do know she had no weapons.
