Controlling Images:

What They Are & How They Affect Black Women

Historically, socially, and culturally, American society has always propagated that Black women should always be seen and identified in a certain way that impacts and affects them negatively. This project will attempt to explain what each of these controlling images are, how they affect Black women, and why they have had such a negative impact on how Black women are able to navigate their lives within American society.
