by Ann Youngblood Mulhearn (Author)

This book examines the intersections of faith, race, and gender within the social justice movement in the civil rights era in Memphis, Tennessee. The intertwined experiences of six Catholic women activists demonstrate that the commonalities of gender and faith provided a foundation from which many others built the interracial justice movement.
