Requests:  0 Summary:  "In her groundbreaking and essential debut The Three Mothers, scholar 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"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.8743 Tu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult New Books 306.8743 Tu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.8743 Tu Checked out 05/06/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.8743 Tubbs Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 306.8743 Tu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.8743 Tu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.8743 Tu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.8743 Tu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 306.8743 Tu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 306.8743 Tu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
