"This is the time. We won't stop until we change the whole system of justice."--Rev. Al Sharpton. While the world may know the major names of the Civil Rights movement, there are countless lesser-known heroes fighting the good fight to advance equal justice for all, heeding the call when no one else was listening, often risking their lives and livelihoods in the process. Righteous Troublemakers shines a light on everyday people called to do extraordinary things--like Pauli Murray, whose early work informed Thurgood Marshall's legal argument for Brown v. Board of Education, Claudette Colvin, who refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus months before Rosa Parks did the same, and Gwen Carr, whose private pain in losing her son Eric Garner stoked her public activism against police brutality. Sharpton also illuminates the lives of more widely known individuals, revealing overlooked details, historical connections, and a perspective informed by years of working on the front line of the social justice movement, to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the wheels of justice and the individuals who have helped advance its cause. Also, don't miss Reverend Sharpton's previous book, Rise Up: Confronting a Country at the Crossroads. Michael Eric Dyson calls it "a gift from Al Sharpton to us"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Social justice $z United States. 650 0 $a Social change $z United States. 650 0 $a Civil rights movements $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Social policy $y 1993- 650 7 $a Civil rights movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862708 650 7 $a Social change. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122310 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Social justice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122603 650 7 $a Social policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122738 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a Since 1900 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011920.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=48E12DF00CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
