In this first reading assignment from Citizen, you've encountered a collection of microaggressions and an essay documenting the visibility of black bodies in media: specifically, Serena Williams.
Part I: Share a microaggression you've either experienced firsthand or witnessed that this reading assignment reminded you of. Explain how you felt throughout the process of the event and quote the text to apply Rankine's ideas of visibility and violence to your experience. Next, identify the source of the microaggressive act present in the experience you've described (Ex: body surface-related judgments), and determine which type of visibility violence it was (erasure or hypervisibility).
Part II: In a separate post, quote a moment from the essay on Serena Williams and explain how you see this as an injustice to Williams as an American athlete. Which part surprised/upset you the most? Interact with your classmates' posts and help develop your understanding(s) of microaggressions and their impact on the lives of common people and public figures.
