mother’s day black brunch in gainesville, fl | 10 may 2015 this weekend i helped organize and participated in what’s called a black brunch in honor of black mothers who have been killed and have lost children, partners, and friends in the continued assault against black life. you can read my personal thoughts on it here and read the transcript here.

On May 10th 2015, Mother's Day, a group of Black activists and non-black allies in Gainesville, Florida held a #BlackBrunch to honor the lives of Black mothers. We interrupted business as usual for 4 minutes to represent the 4 hours that Michael Brown's body lay unattended on the street.

This Mother's Day we ask the question: Who is entitled to motherhood?  We reflect on a system that is destroying the lively hood of Black life in this country and we recognize that Black mothers and women bare a unique burden in the U.S. living within the intersections of race, class and gender. In 2010 Black women were incarcerated at nearly three times the rate of white women and 1 out of 19 incarcerated Black women faced life in prison while 1 out of 118 incarcerated white women faced the same sentence. From the deaths of Aiyana Stanley-Jones to Rekia Boyd to Tanisha Anderson we acknowledge the disparities that Black America faces while traversing a system of state-sanctioned violence, white supremacy and anti-blackness. 

Black men remain centered in conversations about police violence but we must not avert our gaze from the injustices inflicted upon Black women (cis* and trans*). Black cis women account for 20% of the killings committed by the police and in 2013 it was reported that Black transgender women have a 50 percent greater homicide rate than their white, Latina, and Native American counterparts and were more than three times as likely to experience police violence than any other group. 

When Black mothers are murdered and still, other Black mother's are left to bury their dead, we must again ask the question: Who is entitled to motherhood? 

Today and everyday we remember Black mothers whose lives were taken and celebrate living Black mothers who are still mourning the loss of their children, partners and loved ones.  

Happy Mother's Day. #BlackLivesMatter #BlackMothersMatter #BlackTransLivesMatter #BlackWomenMatter

Cis*- People who identify with the gender they were assigned at birth Trans*- People who do not identify with the gender they were assigned at birth.
