Aggies blog about the cultural representation of Black women and the literature they produce. We center the lived experience of the Black woman as represented in literature and the terms and conditions on which she projects her own agency amidst society’s denial of it. We aim to use this place as a site of valuable information, and a space to challenge traditional paradigms about the Black woman’s identity and experience.

Watch the link guys, its the poet Jessica Care Moore performing "Black Statue Of Liberty" very moving piece and she hit many of the topics we have discussed in class pertaining to whites and the patriarchy society we live in. African American women are truly the real statue, as we all know African American women have molded the foundation of white society yet and still being left at the bottom looked upon as less than and treated as to have little to no value. African American women as stated in her poem "I am a symbol of freedom but still not free."
