Zusammenfassung:In March 2006 Crystal Mangum, a Black female exotic dancer, accused three White male Duke student-athletes of sexual violence, igniting a firestorm of media coverage.

Drawing on Black feminist thought, we consider how representations of Mangum serve pedagogical functions, teaching Black female survivors to stay silent.
