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, from her Philadelphia and Harlem homes, a mentor to some of America's most influential Black activists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd 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 \u003ci\u003eQueen Mother\u003c\/i\u003e, celebrated writer and historian Ashley D. Farmer restores Moore's faded portrait, delivering the first ever definitive account of her life and enduring legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeeply researched and richly detailed, \u003ci\u003eQueen Mother \u003c\/i\u003eis 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.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42670632730685,"sku":"9780593701546","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9780593701546_p0.jpg?v=1771580649","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.mom\/products\/9780593701546","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
