Many forget that the movement was bigger than the figures on the frontline and that it grew from intellectual and historical efforts that continue today. In Path to Grace: Reimagining the Civil Rights Movement, author Ethel Morgan Smith shines light on unsung heroes of the civil rights movement, the ordinary citizens working behind the scenes to make an impact in their communities. Through eleven original interviews with teachers, parents hosting fundraisers for civil right workers, volunteers helping with voter registration, and more, Smith highlights the contributions these figures made to the civil rights movement. Some of these brave warriors worked at the elbows of icons while others were clearing new paths, all passing through history without wide recognition. Path to Grace introduces readers to new witnesses and largely neglected voices. Also included are interviews with such esteemed but less studied figures as writer Gloria Naylor, poet Nikki Giovanni, fashion designer Ann Lowe, and educator Constance Curry. This work of social change situates these narratives in both the past and present. Indeed, many of Smith's subjects, such as Emma Bruce, John Canty, Andrea Lee, Ann Lowe, and Blanche Virginia Franklin Moore, can trace their ancestry back to enslavement, which provides a direct chain of narrators and firmly plants the roots of the civil rights movement in the country's foundation. Through historical contextualization and an analysis of contemporary sociopolitical events, Path to Grace celebrates the contributions of some of the nameless individuals, generation after generation, who worked to make the United States better for all its citizens"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African American civil rights workers $z United States $v Interviews. 650 0 $a African American civil rights workers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Civil rights workers $z United States $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Civil rights workers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Civil rights movements $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations $y 20th century. 650 6 $a DeÌfenseurs des droits de l'homme noirs ameÌricains $z EÌtats-Unis $v Entretiens. 650 6 $a DeÌfenseurs des droits de l'homme noirs ameÌricains $z EÌtats-Unis $v Biographies. 650 6 $a DeÌfenseurs des droits de l'homme $z EÌtats-Unis $v Entretiens. 650 6 $a DeÌfenseurs des droits de l'homme $z EÌtats-Unis $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Mouvements des droits de l'homme $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Relations raciales $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 7 $a African American civil rights workers $2 fast 650 7 $a Civil rights movements $2 fast 650 7 $a Civil rights workers $2 fast 650 7 $a Race relations $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 655 7 $a Interviews $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Smith, Ethel Morgan. $t Path to grace $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2023 $z 9781496846426 $w (DLC) 2023015020 830 0 $a Margaret Walker Alexander series in African American studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240529010212.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD0715501D8011EFA6667B3325ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
