Does the Women’s March marginalize women of color? (Taylyn Washington-Harmon)
from TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent · host WBAI 99.5fm, New York City's Pacifica radio station
It was the image of a pink pussy hat on the head of a Harriet Tubman statue in Harlem that set Taylyn Washington-Harmon off. Seeing the civil rights icon’s image coopted for a specific brand of modern feminism was something she found wrong on so many levels that it inspired her to write the Self magazine op-ed “Not My Pussy Hat: Why I Didn't Participate in the Women's March This Year.” In a special one-hour episode of TrumpWatch, Jesse asks Taylyn whether the 2018 Women’s March marginalized women of color and what event organizers could do to send a more inclusive message to the masses. We also take your calls on the ways that white women can be allies for black women on issues like pay inequality and systemic racism.
