Black Nationalism, Reparations, and the Untold Story of Audley Moore

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From an award-winning historian of radical Black politics comes the definitive biography of Queen Mother Audley Moore-foremother of the Black Nationalism movement and trailblazer in the fight for reparations In the world of radical Black politics, the name Audley Moore commands unquestioned respect. Across the nine decades of her life, Queen Mother Moore distinguished herself as a leading progenitor of Black Nationalism, the founder of the modern reparations movement, and a mentor to some of America's most influential Black activists from her homes in North Philadelphia and Harlem. And yet, she is far less remembered than many of her peers and protégés-Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, and Muhammad Ahmad, to name just a few-and the ephemera of her life are either lost or plundered. In Queen Mother, celebrated writer and historian Ashley D. Farmer restores Moore's faded portrait, delivering the first ever definitive account of her life and enduring legacy. Deeply researched and richly detailed, Queen Mother is more than just the biography of an American icon. It's a narrative history of 20th-century Black radicalism, told through the lens of the woman whose grit and determination sustained the movement.
