Black women turn out to vote at higher rates than any other group of Americans. They are also incarcerated at twice the rate of white women and have been incarcerated at higher rates than black men since 1980. This interdisciplinary panel explores black women's experiences at the intersection of citizenship and criminal justice from the perspectives of law, social science, and lived experience.
