Andra Day says : “They do not like Black people, let alone the idea of black liberation and equality or freedom or autonomy. And so she represented all of those things that they hated the most that they’ve been taught to hate the most, that they chose to continue hating the most, and yet they had to stop or they had to silence her. And that’s always been a goal,” “But with the abolition of slavery, I mean, even with the laws that were enacted and vagrancy laws and all of those things, you know, it’s always been an attempt to sort of monetize Black bodies through the process of criminalization, as we’ve seen. So she was a threat to their established and their desired way of life”
