She deserves enormous credit for having the courage to shine lights on our society’s most pressing basic human challenges.” –Tavis Smiley, broadcaster, author and philanthropist“The stories of inequality and those striving for solutions may sound familiar to many, but the ability of Shirley Sherrod, her husband Charles and many of those represented in this book to forgive and move forward with strength in the face of these examples is unparalleled and holds invaluable lessons for us all. Shirley, you are my hero. I want to grow up and be like you.” —Majora Carter, MacArthur-winning environmental justice advocate
