In the Fight of their Lives: Mothers of the Movement and the Pursuit of Reproductive Justice

Kimberly C. Harper

Abstract

On December 15, 2019, I sent this article to the editors. On February 23, 2020, Ahmaud Arbery was followed and murdered as he jogged in Brunswick, GA by two white men who believed him to be a robbery suspect. On March 13, 2020 former EMT Breonna Taylor was shot at least eight times when Louisville Metro Police executed a no-knock warrant.
