Celeste Headlee’s Freedom’s Daughters: How a Generation of Black Women Resisted Oppression Through Literacy and Education is the eye-opening story of the women who risked everything to ensure a generation of Black Americans had the right to read. It paints a vivid portrait of activists, educators, mothers, and organizers who worked tirelessly to secure access to literacy and education for a generation of children born into freedom. In Notes on a Blacklash: When a Black Woman Goes Viral, veteran White House correspondent April Ryan offers a gripping, soul-baring, and deeply personal examination of specific and relentless online bullying attacks based on race and gender. In her Notes, she pulls back the curtain on what it truly costs to be seen and heard, and what it takes to survive it.
