LEARN MORE ABOUT US

The 50th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade, which established a woman’s constitutional right to access abortion, is a significant moment in the ongoing fight for reproductive rights. While the case is often discussed in terms of women’s rights, justice and full autonomy, it is important to recognize the vital role that Black women played in the reproductive rights movement.
