Recy Taylor (December 31, 1919 – December 28, 2017) was an African-American woman from Abbeville, Alabama. On September 3, 1944, while walking home from church with her friend Fannie Daniels, and Daniel's eighteen-year-old-son the three were accosted by six white men. Then, with a shotgun cocked at the back of her head, Taylor was forced away from her friends and forced into a car with these six men. After a short drive, with a shotgun poised on this young twenty-four-year-old mother, she was forced on the ground and gang raped. Taylor's refusal to remain silent about a brutal rape she suffered, led to organizing in the African-American community on behalf of justice and civil rights.

different understanding of ones-self. This is a closed workshop and requires
a pre-conversation with facilitators.
