Virtual Talk [ https://libraryc.org/sunnyvalelibrary/107704 ]
ONLINE: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women’s Magic with Dr. Lindsey Stewart

*Thursday, Feb. 12, 11 a.m. to Noon*

Feminist philosopher Dr. Lindsey Stewart’s book," The Conjuring of America: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women’s Magic [ https://linkencore.iii.com/iii/encore/record/C__Rb51927004__S%20The%20Conjuring%20of%20America__Orightresult__U__X6?lang=eng&suite=def ]", tells the stories of Negro Mammies of slavery; the Voodoo Queens and Blues Women of Reconstruction; and the Granny Midwives and textile weavers of the Jim Crow era. These women, in secrecy and subterfuge, courageously and devotedly continued their practices and worship for centuries and passed down their traditions. This book is a love letter to the real magic Black women used, their herbs, food, textiles, song, and dance, used to sow rebellion, freedom, and hope.
