Dr. Christine Blasey Ford Is An American Hero

    “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter,” said Martin Luther King, Jr. In the article “Dr. Christine Blasey Ford Is An American Hero”, which is written in the Huffington Post, Jessica Luther, a freelance journalist, an author and a co-host of the feminist sports podcast “Burn It All Down,” addresses Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as an “American hero” as Blasey refuses to stay quiet and talks about her experience with sexual harassment from Brett Kavanaugh, infront of all the Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee. In this article, Luther mentions women’s power and their courage to face the world and speak about their stories about abuse and violence. The article is organized as Luther begins with talking about how Blasey and her husband were pushed to go into therapy by her desire to have two front doors in their home because of what has been haunting her for more than thirty years, Kavanaugh’s sexual assault. Then, she talks about all the other courageous women such as Ida B. Wells, Fannie Lou Hamer, Ann Richards, Shirley Chisholm, Carmita Wood and Maya Angelou, and their similar experiences and impact on people The article is very effective as Luther makes sure to show how Dr. Christine Blasey Ford was persistent to let her credibility be strong and earned. The overall value of the passage is to show how women are heroes and they'll never stop growing.
