All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley's Sack, a Black Family Keepsake by Tiya Miles, is a National Book Award Winner and New York Times Bestseller, and has been praised by diverse authors, scholars, and people like you and me.All That She Carried by Tiya Miles
“In All That She Carried, the peerless Tiya Miles confronts both the staggering anguish and atrocity of American slavery and the still more staggering courage and beauty of the lives she chronicles. A history told with brilliance and tenderness and fearlessness."
Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United States, “All That She Carried is a stunning work of history and humanism, and Miles is one of our most eloquent chroniclers of the African American experience."
Michael Eric Dyson, author of Long Time Coming: Reckoning with Race in America, "Tiya Miles, a renowned Harvard historian, traces the life of a single object handed down through three generations of Black women. It is an extraordinary testament to people who are left out of the stories of our history. We will explore themes of resilience and love, creativity and fierce resourcefulness, and honor and dignity in the face of unspeakable challenges and cruelty that enslaved people were forced to endure".
The book study will be on zoom. Once you have registered, anticipate receiving the zoom link by email on February 8 and again on February 22.
