Zuri's Reviews > The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation

So this book definitely has an interesting premise, but I don't think Tubbs was really apt to write it? And actually I don't know if anyone would be apt to write it, because there just isn't enough information about these three women. There weren’t many primary sources like their own journals or letters, so it seemed like a lot of speculation. Obviously these mothers were very influential to their iconic sons, but it was very much just listening to civil rights history that I already knew about and then a line about their mother probably supporting them through this. I was underwhelmed.
