Queen Mother: Black Nationalism, Reparations, and the Untold story of Audley Moore by Ashley D. Farmer
In the world of radical Black politics, the name Audley Moore commanded unquestioned respect. Across the nine decades of her life, Queen Mother Moore distinguished herself as a leading progenitor of Black Nationalism, the founder of the modern reparations’ movement, and a mentor to some of America’s most influential Black activists from her homes in North Philadelphia, PA and Harlem, NY.
Deeply researched and richly detailed, Queen Mother is more than just the biography of an American icon. It’s a narrative history of 20th-century Black radicalism, told through the lens of the woman whose grit and determination sustained the movement.
Ashley D. Farmer is an award-winning writer, researcher, and cultural analyst who explores Black history and its implications today. Her first book was, Remaking Black Power: How Black Women Transform an Era.

Black Print: African American Writing, 1773-1910
Black Print offers a snapshot of a robust community of writers thinking actively about Black life and Black art—the beautiful and the sublime, politics and popular culture—primarily through periodicals, pamphlets, and other ephemeral forms. Before social media, before #BlackTwitter, there was nineteenth-century Black print.
