One night in Alabama in 1944, Recy Taylor, a 24-year-old black woman, was raped by six white men. Despite Recyā€™s brave testimony and a high-profile campaign led by Rosa Parks, the rapists werenā€™t convicted, and the case was virtually forgotten. Mixing footage from classic-era race films with gut-wrenching testimony from today, The Rape of Recy Taylor is an astonishingly powerful testament to endurance, one that posits black womenā€™s control over their own bodies as the cornerstone of civil rights.
