The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation by Anna Malaika TubbsRead about another book on the list.
History is too often taught as a series of actions undertaken by men. In this biography, the author reveals the importance of three extraordinary mothers in shaping the Civil Rights movement. Without the strength and vision of these three African American mothers, the book asks, would we even have known the leadership of King, the vision of Malcolm or the clarity of James Baldwin's words?
