About this title

Synopsis

Some of America's most zealous activists against social injustice share their experiences

From the Publisher

Andrew Young, Rosa Parks, Studs Terkel, and other early social reformers give a compelling oral history of grass-roots activism in America from the beginnings of the labor movement through the onset of the Civil Rights movement and of the Highlander Center, the renowned center of activist education in rural Tennessee with which many of the reformers were connected.
