Historian and scholar, Dr. Keisha Blain joins The Electorette to discuss her groundbreaking new book, Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights. This vital chronicle reframes the history of Black women’s activism—not only as a fight for civil rights in the U.S., but as a global human rights struggle that continues to shape our world today.

From Ida B. Wells’s anti-lynching crusade that called out America on the world stage, to Madam C.J. Walker’s international diplomacy, to Black women activists who linked civil rights to anti-apartheid and Palestinian liberation, Dr. Blain uncovers how Black women’s vision of justice has always been expansive, international, and transformative.

We also explore what their legacy teaches us about today’s political moment, and why documenting these stories is essential as forces attempt to erase them.
