Join Catherine Joy White in conversation about her new book This Thread of Gold which celebrates the history of Black female resistance.
Throughout history, acts of defiance have taken place in secret: through hushed conversations, in kitchens, churches, trusted networks. Other acts of defiance are made global, through art, politics, and open activism.
