Patricia Stephens Due fought for justice during the height
of the Civil Rights era, surrendering her very freedom to
ensure that the rights of others might someday be protected.
Her daughter Tananarive grew up deeply enmeshed in the
values of a family committed to making right whatever they
saw as wrong. Together, they have written a paean to the
movement - its struggles, its nameless foot soldiers, and
its achievements - and an incisive examination of the future
of justice in this country. Their mother-daughter journey
spanning the struggles of two generations is an
unforgettable story.
