Summary:
"Anna Malaika Tubbs celebrates Black motherhood by telling the story of the
three
women who raised and
shaped
some of America's most pivotal heroes:
Martin
Luther
King
,
Jr
.,
Malcolm
X
, and
James
Baldwin
. Much has been written about Berdis
Baldwin
's son
James
, about Alberta
King
's son
Martin
Luther
, and Louise Little's son
Malcolm
. But virtually nothing has been said about the extraordinary women who raised them, who were all born at the beginning of the 20th century and forced to contend with the prejudices of Jim Crow as Black women. Berdis, Alberta, and Louise passed their knowledge to their children with the hope of helping them to survive in a society that would deny their humanity from the very beginning--from Louise teaching her children about their activist roots, to Berdis encouraging
James
to express himself through writing, to Alberta basing all of her lessons in faith and social justice. These women used their strength and motherhood to push their children toward greatness, all with a conviction that every human being deserves dignity and respect despite the rampant discrimination they faced. These
three
mothers
taught resistance and a fundamental belief in the worth of Black people to their sons, even when these beliefs flew in the face of America's racist practices and led to ramifications for all
three
families' safety. The fight for equal justice and dignity came above all else for the
three
mothers
. These women, their similarities and differences, as individuals and as
mothers
, represent a piece of history left untold and a celebration of Black motherhood long overdue."
