What a necessary book! In the last year, I have been reading so many books, seeking to re-educate myself about what I thought I knew about American history, but this is the first book that has told the story of Black American Herstory. Tubbs not only tells the story of these three influential woman, she raises the veil of White supremacist misogyny. Her narrative of these three women's is compelling, and her ability to tie together their story with the stark reality of the world in which these women lived. This is not the history I was taught, but it is the history that must be spoken. Say these women's names. Speak their history, and let it not be repeated. Unfortunately, as she points out in the final chapter, Black mothers are still unjustly mourning their children. There is still so much work to do.
