Black women became the heavy lifters through their history of extreme marginalization, shaped by chattel slavery, the negative and lasting effects of stereotypes, and their purposeful exclusion from the polity. Black women have learned to navigate state legislatures; they have studied the rules to be effective legislators and deliver policy that benefits their communities through linked fate, and they have gained leadership through their ambition at the margins.
