Justice for Recy Taylor
On September 3, 1944, Recy Taylor was walking home from church in Abbeville, Alabama, when she was sexually assaulted by six white men. The crime was investigated by Rosa Parks, who worked with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and it received a lot of coverage in the Black press. However, as with many cases pertaining to violence against Black women, the accused were not indicted.
