Black reproductive rights groups speak out against Dillard’s sponsorship of anti-abortion rights fundraiser |
The American Independent previously reported on a Dillard’s-sponsored Heroic Media fashion-show fundraiser scheduled for April 9, with an estimated attendance of 400 to 500 Heroic Media supporters, according to Stephen Brophy, store manager of the Houston branch store sponsoring the event. In response to the upcoming event, black women’s groups have spoken out against Dillard’s for partnering with Heroic Media, which asserts in its ads: “The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb.” Through its African-American-centric anti-abortion campaigns, Heroic Media has erected billboards in a handful of cities across the country (most controversially in New York City), and the result has been the ire of groups who represent the reproductive freedom of African-American women.
