WMRSASC shared The Rape of Recy Taylor's The Rape of Recy Taylor - Official Trailer.

3 days ago

Recy Taylor, a 24-year-old black mother and sharecropper, was gang raped by six white boys in 1944 Alabama. Common in Jim Crow South, few women spoke up in fear for their lives. Not Recy Taylor, who bravely identified her rapists. The NAACP sent its chief rape investigator Rosa Parks, who rallied support and triggered an unprecedented outcry for justice.

The film exposes a legacy of physical abuse of black women and reveals Rosa Parks’ intimate role in Recy Taylor’s story. An attempted rape against Parks was but one inspiration for her ongoing work to find justice for countless women like Taylor. The 1955 bus boycott was an end result, not a beginning.

On Thursday 11th October critically acclaimed documentary The Rape of Recy Taylor is being screened at Malvern Theatres. WMRSASC will be present at the screening to provide information about our services and the support that we offer. Please feel free to come and chat with us.
