Thanks for highlighting the life of my Aunt ‘Cile in your book. She was a great woman. I take a great deal of pride in being her nephew and to having known her. I will always treasure your book as a reminder of how wonderful my Aunt ‘Cile was. Once again, thanks for your efforts.

“This is great timing to elevate the conversation about Black feminists and now to see, at least a small snippet of it in the story of Lucile Bluford. You’ve done a magnificent job capturing it.”
