Author and activist Anna Malaika Tubbs (KC 2017) joins us for a special event to talk about her work and her New York Times bestselling book The Three Mothers.
Women, and mothers in particular, undeniably impact and shape history – but their stories are often hidden or misrepresented. In The Three Mothers, Anna Malaika Tubbs explores the remarkable lives of three extraordinary women ignored by history - Alberta King, Louise Little and Berdis Baldwin – and the essential role they played as mothers to Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and James Baldwin, and in shaping 20th century America.
The event is part of our 50 Years of Women at King's. It will be held in the Beves Room and will begin with a drinks reception at 5.30pm in the Provost's Lodge, followed by the talk at 6.15pm. Although the event is free to attend, booking is required as seating is limited.
Please note that this event is now fully booked. If you would like to attend, please join the waitlist and we will be in touch with you if there are any cancellations.
