These photos represent more than that, however. Six months after a black girl was dragged by her hair by a police officer at a swimming pool, to see this group of educated young women, standing confidently and assuredly staring back into Kevin L. Dorsey’s camera is one that should inspire young women across the country to pursue their goals academically and athletically.
It’s not all serious business, though. Dorsey also captures the essence of the team enjoying themselves and each other.

Excellent photos. Competitive swimming takes tons of discipline, and it's also a lot of fun. Much success to this team!

“The Creator made all members of the Human family beautiful. It is a sign of inferiority for a whole race of people to try and imitate the beauty standards of another.
This is one of our biggest negative legacy from slavery.
We were dehumanized and made to feel like we were worthless. We were ridiculed and told that we were dirty, black, and ugly.”
