    About this ebook

    Patricia Stephens Due fought for justice during the height of the Civil Rights era. Her daughter, Tananarive, grew up deeply enmeshed in the values of a family committed to making right whatever they saw as wrong. Together, in alternating chapters, they have written a paean to the movement—its hardships, its nameless foot soldiers, and its achievements—and an incisive examination of the future of justice in this country. Their mother-daughter journey spanning two generations of struggles is an unforgettable story.

      Enjoyed it. Currently living in Florida and being from up North was kind of oblivious to the struggles in FL. Because you mostly hear about MS and AL. Glad I picked up the book.
