In Black Women in White America, historian Gerda Lerner brings together documents that place Black women’s experiences and voices at the center of American history.

Letters, personal accounts, speeches, and other historical sources illuminate lives shaped by slavery, freedom, work, education, family, and the struggle for equality. Alongside accounts of injustice are stories of resourcefulness, community building, leadership, and determination.

The collection preserves the experiences of both prominent figures and women whose contributions were often overlooked, offering a richly layered documentary record of American life.

This copy comes from the estate of poet Everett Hoagland. Its back cover bears Random House stamps identifying it as a professional review copy, adding a distinctive publishing detail to its literary provenance.
