Dear Ms. Davis

Dear Ms. Davis,

Let me begin by saying that you are such an inspiration and role model on how to live a brave, others-focused life. I have a few questions. First, what did it feel like to have your picture used as a symbol? Was it dehumanizing? Did you feel like people began to forget your personhood as they recognized your power to unite a movement? Do you feel like being characterized as strong is dehumanizing? How did you decide to focus your movement on anti-racism and anti-capitalism instead of issues effecting the LGBTQ+ community? What was your relationship with leaders civil rights leaders in the church like? Did you know Ella Baker and have a relationship with her?

I really appreciate your willingness to share your experiences, your life, and your picture with the world. You are and will continue to be an inspiration for many generations to come.

Best,
Taylor Wright
