Add to basketThe early fight for civil rights for Black people in America is filled with excitement, danger, courage, Jim Crow laws, lynching, court battles, and has no shortage of learning lessons that still empower today. Author, NAACP activist, and criminologist Elvis Slaughter understands this deeply. Following up well-received work in both the fiction and non-fiction world alike, Slaughter has turned his attention to a figure who helped set the stage for early civil rights activism in his latest upcoming release. "Moorfield", Slaughter's new book, is a remarkable look at the life of Moorfield Storey. Storey. a white lawyer, who in his role as the NAACP's first president, set the stage for a tradition of modern activism for civil rights that continues to be vibrant today.
"This is an important piece of history that should not be forgotten," commented the clearly enthusiastic author. "Moorfield should not be forgotten. His role in the NAACP was a courageous one. I believe many who are not familiar with it, and even those who are, will find it difficult to put my new book down. Moorfield died the same year Martin Luther King was born, which can give a good perspective on how he was a true visionary who took great risks for civil rights early on."
