The first chapter title sets the stage for the rest of the book: NOT THE HISTORY YOU LEARNED IN SCHOOL, but also underscores the horrific irony that asks the essential American question: WHY?
WHY haven't we all been taught about these necessary, empowering, heartbreaking and inspiring Black women who overcame the horrific obstacles and threats and countless ways America (White America, Male America, Power America) tried to deny them their rights and humanity.
Well, it is all here, to be taught and shared and discussed.
Get on it, stay on it, and begin to undo the damage of racism and mysogyny.
Please.
