CDC states: Black women experience highest rates of homicide of any racial group in the United States. The overall homicide rate for women was 2 per 100,000 women. When researchers reviewed the statistics for Black women, the homicide rate increased to 4.4 per 100,000 women. African-American women are less likely to contact domestic violence service providers or call police when they\u2019re abused, thus increasing their risk of being killed\u2026.African-American women are often fearful of reinforcing racial stereotypes the black community is violent.

So why does this keep happening? How did we get here and how do we stop?
