Resumen del Editor

The author is quoted as saying, "I wanted to write a book that was a celebration of black women, as too many books aren't. This is a problem not only in literature but the world at large.. Isn't it time black women were celebrated? That's what this book is." DESCRIPTION Queen Jackson, an intelligent and strong willed black woman from a rough and destructive background, fights to build a school housing the best and brightest sistas from around the country. This will be an institution of learning that not only gives them a formal education, but teaches them to do for self, take their community back by any means necessary, improve in relationships between men and woman, and compete at the highest levels possible. Along the way she still has to balance a high profile marriage, a mother still addicted to the hood, a child who has trouble adjusting, closeted racists who attack her in media, close minded suburbanites, and a talk show host hell bent on her demise. “Will the mother rise above her project mentality?” “Will the God child reared in the hood, adjust to the suburbs?” “Will the closet racists and close minded suburbanites win?” “Will the talk show host sway America in the opposite direction?” “Will the school ever get built in the first place?” “Is true freedom within our grasp?” These questions and more are answered in Black Queens Matter, a thought provoking look into one sistas quest for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
