Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault

06/18/2026

We encourage everyone to take this time to reflect, learn and advocate for equality.

Black women have always been leaders in the movement to end sexual assault. Today, we honor the incredible legacies of Recy Taylor and Rosa Parks, two fearless women who stood up against injustice and inspired generations.

Recy Taylor was a survivor of sexual assault who refused to be silenced about her experience. After the local police department refused to press charges, Rosa Parks, who was a fierce advocate for survivors of sexual violence, helped Taylor by offering support and drawing attention to her fight. While her case eventually made it in front of a judge, it was dismissed due to no arrests being made and no evidence of the attack. Even after her attackers eventually admitted their involvement, Taylor was unable to get justice. Finally, in 2011, the Alabama Legislature issued Taylor a formal apology for the state's failure to hold her attackers accountable. Recy Taylor's fight for justice challenged a society that often silenced Black women. Her courage ignited the urgent need for change. We are grateful for Rosa Parks' example as we advocate for survivors in our community.

Summer vibes shouldn’t come with judgement. Clothing choices aren’t an invitation for harassment. Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected, no matter what they wear.

Black women have always been at the forefront of the fight against sexual assault, leading with resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment. From grassroots organizing to powerful advocacy, they have been championing change and breaking the silence. Let’s uplift their voices and support their leadership in creating a safer future for all.
