"Black Women Taught Us" is an insightful and beautiful memoir that examines the invaluable contributions made by Black feminists, including Ida B. Wells, Bell Hooks, Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, Audre Lorde, Angela Davis, and many others. Through skillful storytelling, Dr. Jackson amplifies the voices of historically marginalized people and shares their personal transformative journey and the profound influence each featured woman has had on them. This book is a collection of essays that provides an essential educational resource and a compelling call to action. It sheds light on the untold stories of Black women's remarkable accomplishments. It inspires readers to learn from and uplift their work. Whether you are well-versed in Black activism or new to Black history, this book is a must-read that beautifully encapsulates the legacy and impact of these revolutionary women while demonstrating the author's own journey of inspiration. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to read an advanced reader's copy of this important work.
