Celebrating Young Voices: A Better Today Books & Boutique's Honor of Women's History Month
In a heartwarming tribute to Women’s History Month, A Better Today Books & Boutique is set to showcase two inspiring teenage authors, Autumn, aged 15, and Aurora, aged 16. These talented young women will celebrate the launch of their book titled "The Three Heroes" during a special Author Signing Celebration on March 8, 2025. This day holds special significance as it marks the 54th anniversary of the exposure of the controversial COINTELPRO program, an FBI initiative aimed at dismantling civil rights movements.
The book encapsulates the struggles and legacies of influential figures like Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Fred Hampton. It also dives deep into the impact of COINTELPRO on the civil rights movement, sharing how it affected the lives of countless individuals striving for equality. The authors’ endeavor is a product of the 3E Program for Social Justice and Change, a youth-driven initiative that empowers students through comprehensive education on Black history and social justice advocacy.
During the event, attendees will experience an engaging discussion led by the authors, along with a reading from "The Three Heroes." This exclusive signing will not only give fans a chance to get their copies signed but also aims to promote awareness surrounding the critical issues tackled in their book. Although the event is private, the bookstore encourages the community to support these promising authors and their pivotal work.
