Quotes by Jenna Wortham (?)

“After all, it’s not addicts that should have ever been the object of our fears, but the forces that create them.”

“In the age of digital photography, for instance, Shirley cards are hardly used anymore. But even now, there are reminders that photographic technology is neither value-free nor ethnically neutral”

“Names and how they are pronounced, revered, and understood reveal a lot—about classism, stereotypes, and history. As part of Dr. Deborah Roberts’s research for the Pluralism series, she typed the names of more than two hundred and fifty African American women into her computer. As she typed, red lines appeared under nearly every name to indicate that the names were spelled incorrectly. For each name, there was a correct and an incorrect way that they should be rendered. “These names are African American names,” Roberts notes. “These are names born from an American history. How can they be wrong?”
― Jenna Wortham, Black Futures
