Through the course of our travels around the city BBN noticed a disturbing pattern of disparity in how New York City newsstand vendors in their display cases take liberties with the image of Black and Latino women who model for the cover of sexually provocative magazines. We found shopkeepers - many of them people of color who exploited the images of Black and Latino women while going to great lengths to protect the image of White women on like magazine covers.

This report is not about the censorship of provocative reading material. Rather, it is about the unequal treatment of the image of Black and Latino women on New York City newsstands. And, we believe the image of ALL women not some are deserving of protection.
