Abstract:

Black Mama’s Day Bail Out was a national action to free black mothers who were in jail on bonds they could not afford to pay. Mothers released from the Durham County Detention Facility were celebrated at Hillside Park on Mother’s Day. Social activists at the event are calling for reform of North Carolina’s racially biased ransom demands.
