CultureFrom slavery to today: The Black women who shaped America

Sasha Bonét’s debut memoir, “The Waterbearers,” opens with Toni Morrison’s observation that Black women’s history is inseparable from America’s. Bonét follows three generations of women in her family: her grandmother Betty Jean, her mother Connie, and herself as she raises her daughter Sofia in New York.
