An uplifting collection of speeches by Black women, curated by the civil and human rights activist, scholar, and author


When Mary Ann Shadd Cary--the first Black woman publisher in North America--declared, break every yoke . . . let the oppressed go free to congregants in Chatham, Canada, in 1858, she joined a tradition of African American women speaking for their own liberation. Drawing from a rich archive of political speeches, acclaimed activist and author Janet Dewart Bell, the author of Lighting the Fires of Freedom, which was nominated for an NAACP Image Award, explores this tradition in Blackbirds Singing.
