A Black Women’s History of the United States
by Daina Ramey Berry & Kali Nicole Gross
Introduction
Book Overview
A Black Women’s History of the United States reframes American history by centering the lives, labor, activism, and imagination of Black women—from the earliest days of colonialism to the present. Berry and Gross highlight Black women as creators, leaders, resisters, and visionaries whose contributions have shaped movements, culture, and the very meaning of freedom. Their narrative challenges erasure and offers a sweeping, empowering re-telling of U.S. history grounded in resilience and collective power.
