For Black women in government, highlighting threats and abuse can make it worse

2021 has seen Black women reach new heights in the halls of U.S. Government — from Kamala Harris as vice president, to a record-setting number of Black women in Congress and in mayor's offices. While many celebrate the increase in representation, many of these elected leaders also face harassment and threats. Amna Nawaz has their story as part of our "Race Matters" series.
