Summary
This chapter highlights the lived experiences of Black women whose bodies are controlled, dignity destroyed, and poverty exacerbated by a racist and predatory police system in St. Louis. The co-authors conducted extensive interviews with five women over the course of several months: Nicole Bolden, Keilee Fant, Kristine Hendrix, Samantha Jenkins, and Meredith Walker.
