Book Description
From one of our most important scholars and civil rights activist icon, a powerful study of the women’s liberation movement and the tangled knot of oppression facing Black women. “Angela Davis is herself a woman of undeniable courage. She should be heard.”—The New York Times Angela Davis provides a powerful history of the social and political influence of whiteness and elitism in feminism, from abolitionist days to the present, and demonstrates how the racist and classist biases of its leaders inevitably hampered any collective ambitions. While Black women were aided by some activists like Sarah and Angelina Grimke and the suffrage cause found unwavering support in Frederick Douglass, many women played on the fears of white supremacists for political gain rather than take an intersectional approach to liberation. Here, Davis not only contextualizes the legacy and pitfalls of civil and women’s rights activists, but also discusses Communist women, the murder of Emmitt Till, and Margaret Sanger’s racism. Davis shows readers how the inequalities between Black and white women influence the contemporary issues of rape, reproductive freedom, housework and child care in this bold and indispensable work.

Book Description
In 'History of the Negro Race in America from 1619 to 1880' volumes 1 and 2, George Washington Williams meticulously traces the history of African Americans in the United States, providing a comprehensive account of their experiences from the beginning of slavery to the Reconstruction era. Williams' writing style is earnest and informative, blending historical facts with personal reflections and highlighting the resilience of the African American community in the face of adversity. This book serves as an invaluable resource for understanding the complexities of race relations in America during a critical period of transformation. Williams' meticulous research and dedication to uncovering the truth behind the African American experience make this work a standout in the field of African American history. George Washington Williams, a pioneering African American historian and social activist, was driven by a desire to give a voice to the marginalized and advocate for justice and equality. His firsthand experiences with discrimination and oppression fueled his passion for documenting the history of African Americans and shedding light on their contributions to society. I highly recommend 'History of the Negro Race in America' to readers interested in delving into the rich and tumultuous history of African Americans in the United States, as well as those seeking a deeper understanding of the enduring impact of slavery and racism on American society.
The Suppression of the African Slave Trade to the United States of America: 1638–1870

Book Description
This monograph was begun during my residence as Rogers Memorial Fellow at Harvard University, and is based mainly upon a study of the sources, i.e., national, State, and colonial statutes, Congressional documents, reports of societies, personal narratives, etc. The collection of laws available for this research was, I think, nearly complete; on the other hand, facts and statistics bearing on the economic side of the study have been difficult to find, and my conclusions are consequently liable to modification from this source. The question of the suppression of the slave-trade is so intimately connected with the questions as to its rise, the system of American slavery, and the whole colonial policy of the eighteenth century, that it is difficult to isolate it, and at the same time to avoid superficiality on the one hand, and unscientific narrowness of view on the other. While I could not hope entirely to overcome such a difficulty, I nevertheless trust that I have succeeded in rendering this monograph a small contribution to the scientific study of slavery and the American Negro.' William Edward Burghardt "W. E. B." Du Bois (1868 – 1963) was an American sociologist, historian, civil rights activist, Pan-Africanist, author, writer and editor. Born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, Du Bois grew up in a relatively tolerant and integrated community. After completing graduate work at the University of Berlin and Harvard, where he was the first African American to earn a doctorate, he became a professor of history, sociology and economics at Atlanta University. Du Bois was one of the co-founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in 1909.
