Deep in Our Hearts: Nine White Women in the Freedom Movement
Deep in Our Hearts captures the recollections of nine white women actively involved in "The Movement" in the '60s. Each woman's experience was different (though some appear as relatively minor characters in other's stories), so these oral histories provide a range of perspectives on an important period. One major contribution of these narratives is dispelling stereotypes: the authors came from a variety of backgrounds (they weren't all "red diaper babies" from the East Coast) and have spent their post-Movement days in many professions, although virtually all remain committed to social justice. Full of vivid insights into what really happened during those troubled times.Mary CarrollCopyright © American Library Association.
