pickWhat a powerful book this was! Featuring essays from different Black women, this book was likely seen as radical in its time (1970). We need these words followed by collective direct action, now more than ever. These voices discuss how all issues intersect with a lens that only Black Feminism can give.
pickMeridian is a young, black woman who joins the civil rights movement of the 1960‘s in the American South. Walker captures racism, sexism, illness, suffering and poverty in this heartbreaking, beautifully written novel. I thought this was really powerful and historically important.
