Unfiltered stories of Black resistance, erased heroes, and hidden truths. We connect the past to today’s fights so the next generation never has to ask “why didn’t they teach us this?”
The Color Purple has been banned for more than forty years, which is remarkable considering what the book actually does. Alice Walker wrote a story that refuses to let Black women be silent. It refuses to let trauma be hidden. And it refuses to let love, especially queer love, be defined by the people who benefit from erasing it.
