On this episode of The AUXORO Podcast Dorothy Roberts and Zach discuss how black women's bodies have been controlled and abused throughout history, the "unrestrained reproductive freedoms" of white slaveowners over female slaves, how race affects reproductive freedom still today, the myth of the "crack baby," how artificial intelligence may contain biases against minorities, and the story of Vanessa Peoples being tied up like an animal by police in front of her children for no wrongdoing.
