Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs Recognizing the Mothers Responsible for Martin Luther King, Jr, Malcolm X & James Baldwin

We owe credit where credit is due. Mothers. Women are consistently erased from history even though they are also in the room. They are responsible for the lives of men receiving so much attention. Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs holds a Ph.D in Sociology and Masters in Multidisciplinary Gender Studies from the University of Cambridge and a Bachelors in Anthropology from Stanford University. Anna centers her research, writing, and talks on gender and race issues in the U.S., especially the pervasive erasure of Black women. We had the best conversation about changing the perception and narrative of motherhood, how shedding light on mothers' stories can impact U.S. policy change, and giving women of color credit. PLUS learn her four tenants for raising black children in the U.S. Anna's debut book, "The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr, Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation," is a New York Times Bestseller, New York Times Editor's Choice, and Amazon Editor's Pick.
