An essential guidebook to influential Black women from Chicago’s
South and West Sides, and their social, cultural, and artistic
contributions to movements both past and present.Â
Geographically, historically, and politically, Lifting As They
Climbed gives readers an in-depth understanding of the numerous
Black women, from the nineteenth century to today, who empower(ed)
their neighborhoods and communities. Structured as a self-guided
walking tour, with crisp maps and accessible narratives, Lifting As
They Climbed showcases seventy-five women—activists, artists,
musicians, and more—through sites and landmarks on Chicago’s
South and West Sides. Including Margaret Burroughs,
Gwendolyn Brooks, Mahalia Jackson, and many others, this updated
and extended edition is a testament to women whose stories have
gone largely untold, and whose lives reveal powerful connections
between their endeavors and present-day struggles for radical
community-building and solidarity. With no “official” landmarks
to preserve the history of their social justice efforts, this book
is an intervention against their erasure.
