Keisha N. Blain in conversation with Beverly Guy-Sheftall for a celebration of Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights
This event is free and open to the public, but registration is encouraged. Register here. This event takes place at the Auburn Avenue Research Library, 101 Auburn Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30303. Doors open at 6pm. Event begins promptly at 6:30pm.
Charis and the Auburn Avenue Research Library welcome Keisha N. Blain in conversation with Beverly Guy-Sheftall for a celebration of Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Right, anaccount of Black Women's aspirations, strategies, and struggles to pioneer a human rights approach to combating systems of injustice.
Even before they were recognized as citizens of the United States, Black women understood that the fights for civil and human rights were inseparable. Over the course of two hundred years, they were at the forefront of national and international movements for social change, weaving connections between their own and others’ freedom struggles around the world.
Without Fear tells how, during American history, Black women made humans rights theirs: from worldwide travel and public advocacy in the global Black press to their work for the United Nations, they courageously and effectively moved human rights beyond an esoteric concept to an active, organizing principle. Acclaimed historian Keisha N. Blain tells the story of these women—from the well-known, like Ida B. Wells, Madam C. J. Walker, and Lena Horne, to those who are still less known, including Pearl Sherrod, Aretha McKinley, and Marguerite Cartwright. Blain captures human rights thinking and activism from the ground up with Black women at the center, working outside the traditional halls of power.
By shouldering intersecting forms of oppression—including racism, sexism, and classism—Black women have long been in a unique position to fight for freedom and dignity. Without Fear is an account of their aspirations, strategies, and struggles to pioneer a human rights approach to combating systems of injustice.

This welcoming is for all‑ages, designed to bring families, youth, elders, and neighbors together to learn, share, and celebrate the brilliance of African and African American history.
Do you think it is time to reclaim the power of learning for our communities or will we continue allow learning to diminish and our future generations not be empowered?
This is our time to come together as a community and learn with each other. Let's explore and some may discover these stories for the first time or some may deepen what they already know. This club creates a space where knowledge becomes a bridge between generations and a spark for community pride.
What to Expect

Stories of great African Americans — both well‑known and unsung
1 hour of your time and energy and it's every other week!
Hands‑on activities, discussions, and critical thinking for all ages
A warm, inclusive environment where everyone can learn at their own pace
Opportunities to connect, reflect, and build community through shared history
Why It Matters
Learning our history strengthens our communities.
It builds confidence in our youth, deepens understanding among adults, and preserves the legacy of those who paved the way. By exploring the lives, achievements, and contributions of African Americans — famous and lesser‑known — we honor our past while empowering our future.
This club is more than a meeting.
It’s a commitment to collective learning, cultural pride, and community uplift.
Who’s Invited
Everyone.
Families, children, teens, adults, and elders — all are welcome to join, learn, and grow with us.
Join Us
Come be part of a space where history comes alive, community comes together, and learning becomes a celebration of who we are.
