In 2020, Black women have been celebrated and vilified, but their voices ring out in ‘The Black Woman is God’ online exhibition

Weeks after the presidential election, the calls of “voter fraud” from the right were matched only by messages of gratitude from the left. Specifically, the latter messages consisted of articles and op-eds thanking Black women for “saving” the election and the Democratic Party as a whole. 

Many-a-white-leftist’s social media profile expressed similar sentiments, thanking Black women for putting in the work of turning the tide for democracy.
