I thought this picture was really interesting and i think that it is relevant to "Unspoken." This picture basically shows the silence of victims, like Hill for example. This lady is a victim and I do not think that people would want to hear what she has to say. Although Hill was kind of forced to speak. However, when she finally spoke, she was not believed and gave the white male senators the image of a liar and a psychotic woman (Chapter 3). Hill was a victim of sexual harassment but she chose to use public silence, which also gave her power.
I did not appreciate the people who would not believe Hill and thought that her statement was initially declared irrelevant. The reason being, is because they asked her to speak and when she finally did, they did not believe it. I feel like she has the right to remain silent if that is what she chooses. This picture also makes me reflect on the quote of Royster, "I speak but I cannot be heard. Worse, I am heard but am not believed. Worse yet, I speak but I am not deemed believable." This is one of my favorite quotes so far. I chose this picture because I think it is the perfect image of Hill.
