A Black Women's History of the United States by Daina Ramey Berry, Kali Nicole Gross

5.0

Wow. I have never been more moved, empowered, and humbled as a Black woman than I am in this very moment. Every one of these pages breathed life, inspiration, pride...but also told of the devastation and pain Black women have faced in this country. Drs. Berry and Gross took special care to center Black women (FINALLY!) in American history, some of whom I have known about and revered for years, but many I was acquainted with for the first time. Our history is rich and powerful and gritty and raw. Our ancestors were mighty and courageous and nurturing and intelligent and strategic. To share bloodlines and legacy with them truly brings tears to my eyes. What an incredible read that I will revisit over and over again.
