Summary of Anna Malaika Tubbs's The Three Mothers
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Louise would become a symbol of resistance because the struggle for freedom pulsed through her veins. The blood of her ancestors carried with it messages of liberation, while the land that held her whispered tales of revolutions it had witnessed over the years. #2 Louise heard stories of resistance to colonial rule from her grandparents, who had been Liberated Africans by the British. They brought six children into the world, and Louise was raised on stories of the Carib Indians and revolutionaries like Fedon. #3 The lack of punishment for the perpetrators of sexual violence against women of color was not limited to Edith’s time. Many women have experienced this atrocity, and their stories will never be known, but the historian Danielle McGuire used her book At the Dark End of the Street to pay tribute to as many women as she could. #4 Edith gave birth to her first and only daughter, Louise, in 1897. Louise was light-skinned and easily passed as white, which caused her to face a choice of whether to declare her African descent and claim her Blackness, or not.
You Mean It or You Don't
After a speech at UMass Amherst on February 28, 1984, James Baldwin was asked by a student: "You said that the liberal facade and being a liberal is not enough. Well, what is? What is necessary?" Baldwin responded, "Commitment. That is what is necessary. You mean it or you don't." Taking up that challenge and drawing from Baldwin's fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and interviews, You Mean It or You Don't will spur today's progressives from conviction to action. It is not enough, authors Hollowell and McGhee urge us, to hold progressive views on racial justice, LGBTQ+ identity, and economic inequality. True and lasting change demands a response to Baldwin's radical challenge for moral commitment. Called to move from dreams of justice to living it out in communities, churches, and neighborhoods, we can show that we truly mean it. Welcome to life with James Baldwin. It is raw and challenging, inspired and embodied, passionate and fully awake.
