THE THREE MOTHERS
WITH ANNA MALAIKA TUBBS IN CONVERSATION WITH DR. JASMINE MITCHELL
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. 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.
Anna explores the violence of erasure, how the storyteller influences the story, why the recognition of mothers and their work is crucial for ournation, and how we can learn from the many lessons Alberta, Berdis, and Louise teach us.
Through Anna Malaika Tubb’s writing, Berdis, Alberta, and Louise’s stories sing. Theirs is a history forgotten that begs to be told, and Tubbs tells it brilliantly.
