Turning Pages: March 2024 Book Suggestions

In honor of Women's History Month, we are reminded of a section of a poem by Haki D. Madhubuti titled "Black Women Have Been Our Answers, No Matter The Questions"

the women are colors of earth and ocean

earth as life,

the beginning waters

magnificent energy.

As the women go, so go the people

determining missions

determining possibilities.

Stopping the women stops the future...

From the book, Taught By Women by Haki D. Madhubuti
