The Marble Doesn’t Lie is an access-centered Crip Notes zine exploring how racism and ableism are carved from the same stone. Using the metaphor of marble, this powerful work unpacks how society tries to separate oppressions that were never meant to be split — revealing how ableism, racism, eugenics, and capitalism are all intertwined in shaping who gets to survive and thrive.
Written with sharp clarity and grounded compassion, this zine honors the legacy and wisdom of Black, disabled, and queer thinkers like TL Lewis, Mia Mingus, Alice Wong, Vilissa Thompson, and Imani Barbarin. It’s both a learning tool and a mirror for those who live at the intersections — reminding us that liberation is not linear, and justice is not divisible.
Designed with large-print text, minimal visuals, and tactile-friendly layout, The Marble Doesn’t Lie centers accessibility and reflection. Perfect for educators, activists, or anyone rethinking how systems of oppression overlap and reinforce each other.
Theme: Intersections of Racism & Ableism
Format: Large-print zine (8.5" x 5.5")
