She elaborated, but only after receiving a rash of abusive messages, including, she said, death threats.
“Any public figure is worth remembering in their totality,” she wrote.

“That folks are responding with rage & threats toward me… speaks volumes about the pressure people come under to stay silent in these cases.”
