This week’s activities were interesting for the simple reason that the documentary “Paris is burning” was a great visualization of events that happened during the 1980s. It was a fantastic way to demonstrate the oppression trans, gay, lesbian, queer, bisexual, and others show themselves, I must say it was sad that some of them said that they really want to be famous and live out their opportunity and this was a way to display that. The ball and vogue culture that was demonstrated was such amazing it showed the artistic side of all of them before they go back to their lives where they are discriminated against and oppressed. I enjoyed reading “The Combahee River Collective Statement” because it specifies what contributes to the oppression color women face. The organization was made because color women did not think that the feminist movement and civil right movement involved and meet the Black and lesbian women needs. Overall, both the film and the reading introduce topics that are usually ignored by many because they are never spoken about. This brought knowledge to subjects I really did not have much information about.
