According to the prevailing ideology, Black people were allegedly incapable of intellectual advancement. After all, they had been chattel, naturally inferior as compared to the white epitomes of humankind. But if they really were biologically inferior, they would have manifested neither the desire nor the capability to acquire knowledge.
Two years later Lucy Terry Prince successfully defended a land claim before the highest court of the land, and according to surviving records, she remains the first woman to have addressed the Supreme Court of the United States.13
Forty years later the young white teacher Prudence Crandall steadfastly defended Black girls’ right to attend her Canterbury, Connecticut, school. Crandall persistently taught her Black pupils until she was dragged off to jail for refusing to shut down her school.

incredibly insightful but ultimately i feel i still land on heavy prison reformation and de-commercialisation of prisons rather than abolishing them because some people (ie: serial killers/rapists) are just bad people and no amount of fixing society will change that.
there will always be men out there who do not view women as equal and like i said in one of my quotes, misogyny is so deeply ingrained into our society i dont think we could ever fully remove it
