On the fourth Monday of each month, we get together at Riverstone Books in McCandless Crossing and discuss the month's book choice - a mix of fiction & non-fiction, with selections curated by our booksellers and chosen by the group.
March's pick is The Three Mothers by Anna Malaika Tubbs. Much has been written about the Berdis Baldwin's son James, about Alberta King's son Martin, and Louise Little's son Malcolm. But virtually nothing has been said about the extraordinary women who raised them, who themselves were all born within six years of each other, all contending with the very specific prejudices faced by Black women during Jim Crow.
