My Mother Had a Dream is a cornucopia of well-honed words from the mothers of such diverse women as Marian Wright Edelman, Jamaica Kinkaid, Gladys Knight, and Angela Davis. Whether telling a daughter to buck up, leap ahead, forget that man, squelch racism, or raise her children right, each mother immortalized part of herself. "I still hear you humming, Mama," says writer Sonia Sanchez. "The color of your song calls me home. The color of your words saying, 'Let her be. She got a right to be different. She gonna stumble on herself one of these days. Just let the child be.' And I be, Mama."

My Mother DID Have a Dream... December 5, 2001
My mother did have a dream... for me and my brother. But unfortunatley, she wasn't able to see it become a reality. My mother died at the young age of 28 years, a victim of breast cancer and denial. I was eight years old when she left us and I really missed out on the motherly advice that's passed on from generation to generation by mothers to their daughters. As I read the book I found "words of wisdom" from other famous black mothers and daughters such as Gladys Knight, Maya Angalou, Coretta Scott King and many others. I was always told,"it takes a village to raise a child", and I saw this book as my "village of black mothers" just trying to give one of their daughters words of encouragement and strength in her time of need. I also liked how you can add your own "words of wisdom" to pass to your own daughter.
