Why we picked this
The overlooked engine of American social change: Black women who led movements for human rights at home and abroad, across two hundred years.
Keisha N. Blain is a professor at Brown University, an MSNBC columnist, and former president of the African American Intellectual History Society. Her research recovers the stories of Black women who were at the forefront of movements for social change — not as supporting players, but as leaders, strategists, and visionaries.
“Without Fear” spans two centuries, connecting antebellum activism to the civil rights movement to contemporary organizing. Part of the Oregon Historical Society’s Hatfield Lecture Series.
