A Black Women's History of the United States by Daina Ramey Berry, Kali Nicole Gross

4.0

A necessary hard read -- the way the authors so clearly tell the stories of black women's experiences in the US from the time of slavery to now requires attention. This is not shock and awe, this is the peeling back of obstructions that have blinded too many of us for too long. It was sad and eyeopening to hear how black women in America have a very distinct experience of racism that is still strong today. I will definitely need to read this again because my mind couldn't hold all the info; but the audiobook is a good place to start.
