Queen Mother is a monumental achievement, a rendering worthy of the great Audley Moore herself.

THE
MOTHER
of MODERN BLACK NATIONALISM

Queen Mother is a sensitively written take on a century of Black history, and an absorbing account of a Black woman who survived the ravages of white supremacy and responded to the challenges of her life with intellectual curiosity, moral courage, and clarity. Ashley Farmer’s book pays homage not just to Queen Mother Moore, but also to the scores of Black women who have built movements and dreamt of transforming their worlds.
— Marcia Chatelain, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Franchise
