1. Wake Up America
Black Women on the Future of Democracy
"Wake Up America" by Keisha N. Blain is a compelling collection of essays that explores the ongoing struggle for an inclusive democracy in the United States. Inspired by civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer's call to action in 1968, the book brings together the perspectives of influential Black women leaders, activists, and thinkers. Through their insights, the anthology delves into pressing issues such as economic justice, reparations, political empowerment, and the movement towards freedom from policing. With contributions from figures like Nina Turner, Sheila Jackson Lee, Alicia Garza, and Mariame Kaba, the book offers readers a roadmap for creating a more equitable political landscape.
