The article argues that the discrimination women of color face are a combination of racism and sexism, not one or the other. For Crenshaw, the term “intersectionality” is a simple word with a great number of meanings, because “it managed to encompass in a single word the simultaneous experience of the multiple oppressions faced by black women’. It’s the way women of color experiences…

With the use of critical race theory, and their own experiences with assaultive speech the authors critique the interpretation of the first amendment.

Kierra Crenshaw After the War of 1812, during the Era of Good Feelings, national unity was heavily encouraged within America. James Monroe, elected President of the United States in 1816, agreed to this idea, resulting in the creation of the American System. Often identified with Henry Clay, Speaker of the House of Representatives, the American System was a program of national economic development. In the past, under the presidency of Jefferson, the United States was revolved around…

The idea of intersectionality was made mainstream when the ideology was brought up by Kimberle Crenshaw, a Black Feminist who wrote an article that explained that Black women face a different trouble within society (Sarah & Jones, 2018, p. 24).

Intersectionality is a theory that was coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in the late eighties. The term was created through her analysis. The analysis was of the two forms of violence that men commit against women. This combined with racism and sexism is what she terms intersectionality.

As prospective school social workers we will likely, at some point, assist students who are up against similar adversities as the AP students at Crenshaw high school. The optimistic side to that notion, just as Corwin (1997) documented, is “…the students who avoid the temptations…who, against all odds …manage to endure, to prevail, to succeed” (p. 2). A quintessential inner-city school that housed delinquent students who were transformed by a determined teacher, is not portrayed. More…

Family Resiliency, Homelessness, and Mental Health Homeless families often present with complex health concerns and social situations that overwhelm the family unit and the ability to function. Homelessness is an over-arching term fraught with substance abuse, poverty, domestic abuse, and mental health issues. These issues reach across the biopsychosocial continuum of health and social issues and contribute to a greater rate of familial clientele with mental health issues. The homeless are…

There is nothing like falling asleep to the wailing sounds of sirens and air being broken by helicopters in the air. It seems as if there is never a day that goes by without a new crime being committed in the dense streets of Crenshaw. The presence of gangs and criminals has negatively impacted the lives of people in my community by instilling fear and worry onto those looking to live peaceful and righteous lives; however, people in my community state that this issue could be improved by…
