From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Franchise comes the little-known story of the pioneering Black women artists and activists who were seen, but barely heard, at the 1963 March on Washington.

"Chatelain lets us see the complexities of these women’s lives, feel their pain, and marvel at their ability to cut through the thicket of racism and sexism."—Carol Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of White Rage

"A powerful corrective to these women’s erasure from civil rights history."—Anna Malaika Tubbs, New York Times Book Review


There is no shortage of footage immortalizing the men who spoke at the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, when 250,000 Americans gathered beneath the Lincoln Memorial to call for an end to segregation. There were reverends and rabbis, activists and Rat-Pack icons—and of course the day's headliner, whose prophetic dream of a post-Jim Crow world has forever defined the Civil Rights Movement. But there is no “class photo” of the Black women who helped organize the march, performed on its main stage, or were honored during its “Tribute to Negro Women Fighters for Freedom.”

In How Bright the Path Grows, Marcia Chatelain weaves a gleaming group portrait of these singular women. Among this cohort were several household names: vaudeville icon Josephine Baker; civil rights activist Rosa Parks gospel legend Mahalia Jackson, and Daisy Bates, champion of the Little Rock Nine. But many were relative unknowns, including Eva Jessye, the choir director who designed the day’s musical program, and Anna Hedgeman, the coordinator who pushed in the eleventh hour for a tribute to Black women’s work.

How Bright the Path Grows is a scintillating group biography, rendering the lives of thirteen Black women visionaries—some famous, others soon to be—in novelistic detail and like never seen before.

批評家のレビュー

"Chatelain offers a powerful corrective to these women’s erasure from civil rights history . . . . [They] are presented here not as infallible but as human beings who sometimes made mistakes, and who shifted their approaches to racism and sexism as they learned along the way."—Anna Malaika Tubbs, New York Times Book Review

“Marcia Chatelain has written an engaging and compelling saga about the women who were the torchbearers and sinews of the Civil Rights Movement. How Bright the Path Grows lets us see the complexities of these women’s lives, feel their pain, and be emboldened by their strength.”—Carol Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of White Rage

“Revelatory.”—Ms. Magazine

"Chatelain has done what I didn’t know was possible. She has rendered, with clarity and care, the lives of women who shaped the March on Washington but have been relegated to the margins of its memories. How Bright the Path Grows is more than a corrective. It is as much revelation as it is instruction. Chatelain teaches us how to tell fuller, truer stories. This is the model for recovering what we have been quick to forget."—Caleb Gayle, author of Black Moses

"Marcia Chatelain brilliantly reframes one of the most enduring images in American memory through the women erased from its frame. How Bright the Path Grows is far larger than a corrective to a single day. It is a devastating, deeply felt account of how Black women carried freedom struggles through Jim Crow terror, labor wars, church organizing, political humiliations, private grief, and impossible public courage, only to be reduced by history to atmosphere at the very moment they were helping bend the nation toward itself."—Alexis Coe, New York Times bestselling author of You Never Forget Your First

"Engaging . . . a meticulously researched effort to correct the historical narrative while highlighting the women whose contributions were minimized or at times outright erased."—Garden & Gun

"In this dazzling blend of scholarship and storytelling, Marcia Chatelain adds new dimension to the celebrated 1963 March on Washington, restoring an essential element missing from the event program: the Black women of the movement. Told in a captivating narrative voice and filled with delicious details and rich historical insights, How Bright the Path Grows offers a powerful critique of a noble struggle and a poignant appraisal of the talented women who attempted to break racial barriers. They were not allowed to speak at the March, but their stories take center stage in this compelling, revelatory book."—Elaine Weiss, author of Spell Freedom
