Apologies sought for Jim Crow-era rapes - The Boston Globe

minorjive — 2011-03-10T21:22:25+00:00

Taylor was one of many black women attacked by white men during an era in which sexual assault was used to informally enforce Jim Crow segregation. Their pain galvanized an anti-rape crusade that ultimately took a back seat to the push to dismantle officially sanctioned separation of the races, and slowly faded from the headlines. Many of these rape victims never got justice and the desire for closure is still there, more than 60 years later — leaving some to wonder what, if anything, can be done to address the wrongs done to them. “I didn’t get nothing, ain’t nothing been done about it,’’ Taylor, now 90, said in a telephone interview from her central Florida home. The AP is revealing Taylor’s identity because she has publicly identified herself as a victim of sexual assault.
