The Three Mothers – Audiobook Online By: Anna Malaika Tubbs
In her groundbreaking and essential debut The Three Mothers, scholar Anna Malaika Tubbs celebrates Black motherhood by telling the story of the three women who raised and shaped some of America’s most pivotal heroes: Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin.
Much has been written about Berdis Baldwin’s son James, about Alberta King’s son Martin Luther, and Louise Little’s son Malcolm. But virtually nothing has been said about the extraordinary women who raised them, who were all born at the beginning of the 20th century and forced to contend with the prejudices of Jim Crow as Black women.
Berdis, Alberta, and Louise passed their knowledge to their children with the hope of helping them to survive in a society that would deny their humanity from the very beginning – from Louise teaching her children about their activist roots, to Berdis encourage James to express himself through writing, to Alberta basing all of her lessons in faith and social justice. These women used their strength and motherhood to push their children toward greatness, all with a conviction that every human being deserves dignity and respect despite the rampant discrimination they faced.
These three mothers taught their sons basic resistance and beliefs in Black values, even as these beliefs opposed America’s racist practices and led to ramifications. for the safety of all three families. The fight for justice and dignity is above all for the three mothers.
These women, their similarities and differences, as individuals and as mothers, represent a remnant of history and a celebration of motherhood. Black skin for too long.
I found myself crying, nauseated by the atrocities mentioned and inspired by this book. There were so many frustrating details that this book brought to light, things I never knew about, that really broke my heart. There is a history, not too far off, that has been caught in the rug, and this book really does a great job of both revealing terrible truths and bringing to life very real women. and this powerful limelight they deserve. I am so glad I heard this book. I’m glad I now have a better understanding of the difficulties my black counterparts face. I strongly recommend reading this book to any and everyone.

I have read this book twice before, the book in hand. And each time finds new insights and powerful themes throughout this well – researched and thought-out history. But on my way home from San Diego, I listened to the tape and was re-introduced to these three wonderful women and their stories that had been hidden for many years. I am honored to have the opportunity to read a book that helps to erase the Erase and fill that void with their hearts and souls and above all their motherly love for the 3 men who made it possible. great things in the civil realm. permission. I look forward to more books from this author and also to learn more about these three amazing moms.
