Autor Marcia Walker-McWilliamsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 sep 2016
Labor
leader,
civil
rights
activist,
outspoken
feminist,
African
American
clergywoman--Reverend
Addie
Wyatt
stood
at
the
confluence
of
many
rivers
of
change
in
twentieth
century
America.
The
first
female
president
of
a
local
chapter
of
the
United
Packinghouse
Workers
of
America,
Wyatt
worked
alongside
Martin
Luther
King
Jr.
and
Eleanor
Roosevelt
and
appeared
as
one
of
Time
magazine's
Women
of
the
Year
in
1975.
Marcia
Walker-McWilliams
tells
the
incredible
story
of
Addie
Wyatt
and
her
times.
What
began
for
Wyatt
as
a
journey
to
overcome
poverty
became
a
lifetime
commitment
to
social
justice
and
the
collective
struggle
against
economic,
racial,
and
gender
inequalities.
Walker-McWilliams
illuminates
how
Wyatt's
own
experiences
with
hardship
and
many
forms
of
discrimination
drove
her
work
as
an
activist
and
leader.
A
parallel
journey
led
her
to
develop
an
abiding
spiritual
faith,
one
that
denied
defeatism
by
refusing
to
accept
such
circumstances
as
immutable
social
forces.
