#SayHerName #BlackWomensLivesMatter: State Violence in Policing the Black Female Body
Bibliographic record
Abstract
On June 30, 1974, Alberta Williams King was shot and killed in the sanctuary of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia as she played the organ for Sunday morning service. Mrs. King, seventy years old, was the mother of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. News of her death was overshadowed by four Black men: her son, killed six years previously; the shooting of a "young Black man" in Atlanta on June 26, 1974, who was out on parole; Maynard Jackson, then newly elected as Atlanta's first Black mayor; and her assailant, a Black man, a Vietnam War veteran with mental illness. Reporters focused on the irony that Mrs. King was shot and killed so close to where her son was buried. They also highlighted that the violence against Mrs. King was another installment of racial disturbances in Atlanta that week. On Wednesday when a young Black male parolee was shot, Black Atlantans responded in protests. This shooting occurred amidst the ongoing standoff between Maynard Jackson and the white Atlanta Chief of Police John Inman. Jackson fired Inman, who refused to step down from his post. The men at loggerheads threatened to further arouse racial tensions in the city. Maynard Jackson was abruptly summoned back to Atlanta to deal with the shooting, and the renewed racial unrest it brought, from a conference he was attending on the West Coast. Just when all was looking up and protesting seemed quelled, Marcus Wayne Chenault, Jr. shot and fatally wounded Mrs. King on Sunday morning. As he fired the shots, he yelled: "The war is still on! I'm going to kill everyone in here-they did it to me in the war." The gunman was also reported as repeatedly stating: "The war did this to me. It's the war." Chenault was twenty-one years old at the time of the shooting.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
