   The practice of exploiting and violating the bodies of African   
   American women with impunity is an ancient one. During America’s   
   chattel slavery system, white slave owners freely and legally raped   
   the women whom they enslaved, often in front of their families. They   
   used rape to assert their power and authority over their property   
   without accountability. The offspring of enslaved women were then   
   also considered their master’s property, giving these men more   
   economic power and further stripping African American women of the   
   rights to their own bodies and babies. The legal system enforced   
   this by the sin of omission. No Louisiana law made the rape of a   
   black woman, slave or free, a crime. Rape was specifically limited   
   to white women under the state’s law. However, Louisiana’s   
   provisions mandated capital punishment for both the rape and the   
   attempted rape of a white female by a slave.
