“…These movements, however, have experienced the erasure of Black women’s leadership and labor, as campaigns follow historical trends of centering Black males (Jackson, 2016). Similar to Black women who were killed by police or while in police custody (names like Tanisha Anderson, Ralkina Jones, and Natasha McKenna), the Sandra Bland case in 2015 failed to retain the interest of the public (Crenshaw et al, 2015; Klein, 2018; Pitman et al, 2019). Bland’s arrest for failing to signal a lane change ended in her death 3 days later.…”

Black women are largely invisible in mainstream media’s coverage of police brutality, despite the rise of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. Breonna Taylor’s killing by police in March 2020 gained some media attention after George Floyd’s killing. To engage with BLM, O, The Oprah Magazine and Vanity Fair released special issues in September 2020 featuring Taylor’s portrait on the covers. This study examined the Twitter response to these covers to illuminate how mass media commodify Black womanhood. A critical discourse analysis (CDA) using an intersectional feminist lens revealed themes related to the profitability of Black death, gendered Black allegiance, and Black woman aesthetics.

“…George Floyd, by comparison, was mentioned in 22,046 articles in the 2 months after he was murdered. Like other Black women victims of police violence, Taylor was treated as an afterthought in media coverage of both police brutality and the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests (Battle, 2016; Crenshaw et al, 2015; Klein, 2018; Pitman et al, 2019).…”

Restitution Through Equity-Focused Mentoring: A Solution to Diversify the Physician Workforce

Minoritized and marginalized physicians who identify as Black, Latino/a/x and Native American (BLNA) remain unacceptably underrepresented in medicine. Multiple studies provide a compelling argument for prioritizing racial/ethnic diversification of the physician workforce to improve racial/ethnic physician-patient concordance and assist in achieving more equitable health outcomes. Despite a growing awareness for the tangible benefits of a diversified physician workforce, the number of physicians from minoritized and marginalized groups remains relatively stagnant or worsening in certain demographics. The 5:1 ratio of Black students and trainees to Black faculty exemplifies and exacerbates the increased risk for harmful isolation particularly experienced by many BLNA mentees. They too need and deserve the benefits produced by concordant racial/ethnic faculty mentoring and support. However, these demands on time, resources and bandwidth can lead to negative consequences for BLNA faculty engaged in these efforts by contributing to their emotional, mental and physical exhaustion. Given the perpetual paucity of BLNA physicians in academic medicine, immediate interventions to prevent attrition of BLNA faculty, trainees and students journeying along the physician career pathway are urgently needed. Requiring the implementation of mentoring programs explicitly focused on increasing the number of physicians from groups underrepresented in medicine must happen at every point of the education and training process.

The author discusses the ongoing disturbances around the USA that have come about since the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers, the latest in a long line of similar cases in recent years that has inflamed sentiment about the need to reform policing around the USA. This letter from a docent advocates for museums to take on the role of storyteller to help their publics understand the connections between past oppressions and current police brutality. The author claims that museums play an essential role in public education and a vital role in the formation of visitor identities. Museums have always been places for learn about ourselves and contextualize the past while understanding the present. Museums are now well placed to provide the information that their publics miss in traditional formal school history curricula, and are ideally suited to provide safe places to tackle difficult discussions around race.
