Mary Wilson: Black Women and Self Defense in the Jim Crow Era by Jen Ash Paperba

Description: Mary Wilson by Jen Ash Mary Wilson was a 37-year-old Black woman who confessed to the killing of a white military officer at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, in 1913. While many of its details are still unknown, Mary Wilsons story sheds light on the ways Black women were and continue to be forced to navigate systems of state violence. In turn, those systems were/are deeply and historically interwoven with the legacy of slavery and the rise of the prison industrial complex in the United States after emancipation.The state and vigilantes repeatedly subject Black women to more violence when they defend themselves against interpersonal violence. Mary Wilsons case exemplifies these patterns of violence, but the authorities acquitted her, making her case unique. Mary went free based on a claim of self-defense.Kayla Hawkins beautifully designed the pamphlet.
