 In 1851 Sojourner Truth uttered these four words - Ain't I A Woman at a  suffragists rally and this question echoes to this day. A contemporary  book title reimages this same sentiment - All the Women are White, All  the Blacks are Men and Some of Us Were Brave an edited volume of  stories, political theory, and more (Hull, Scott, & Smith, 1993). As the national theme for Black History Month (BHM) focuses on the  lives and legacies of Black Women, how far have we come to answering  Sojourner Truth's  question from 161 years ago? - Read more  |

 Remember that awkward conversation you had with family when you were a younger about "the birds and the bees"? Do you remember anything they taught you? Are you informed about STDS and safe sex? If you've answered no to any of these questions, then come to Behind Closed Doors, a not so typical dialogue on safe sex from our UCSD Sexual Health Advocates, and a visit from Lea Caughlan from the Rubber Rose. A Q&A will be held if anyone has questions, so come get informed and learn more than just the "birds and the bees." Questions? Contact Jeannette at jnetperez@gmail.com. |
