Our Author Series partnership with Politics and Prose Bookstore continues, Saturday, September 20, 2025 at 5:00pm with Keisha N. Blain — WITHOUT FEAR: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights — in conversation with Glory Edim at the Conn. Ave. store.
Without Fear tells the story of these Black women through the lives and experiences of a diverse cast--from the well-known, like Ida B. Wells, Madam C. J. Walker, and Lena Horne, to those who are still less known, including Pearl Sherrod, Aretha McKinley, and Marguerite Cartwright. Without Fear is an account of their aspirations, their strategies, and their struggles to combat systems of oppression.
Keisha N. Blain is a professor of Africana studies and history at Brown University. She is a Guggenheim, Carnegie, and New America Fellow, and author--most recently of the National Book Critics Circle Award finalist Until I Am Free. She lives in Providence, Rhode Island. Blain will be in conversation with Glory Edim, a literary tastemaker, entrepreneur, and advocate for diverse voices in literature.
