Anna Malaika Tubbs’ acclaimed 2021 debut, The Three Mothers, explored the lives and influence of Alberta King, Berdis Baldwin and Louise Little—the mothers of Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin and Malcolm X, respectively. Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us follows up by confronting the reasons so little was known about these women. Why are Black women so often lost to history? Erased sounds perfect for fans of Isabel Wilkerson (Caste) and Richard Rothstein (The Color of Law), and we can’t wait to read it.
