Why Marriage is Important for Black Women: My Response

In this video, I respond to a YouTube commenter who asks why marriage is so important for black women. I offer a discussion of the history of black women in America, how marriage has been used as a tool of control and segregation, and how the institution of marriage is still a key component of black women's oppression today.

Marriage is an important institution for black women, and it's crucial that we discuss its importance in the context of our history and current situation. I hope my response sheds some light on this important topic and encourages you to think critically about why marriage is so important to black women!
