To southerners, being so cursed to have black skin is bad enough. But to be blessed with white skin and make the choice to join forces with the Negroes, thus threatening the only way of life those evil segregationists have ever known?

Based on the real life story of a little-known figure in the Civil Rights Movement: After watching the horrifying images of dogs, hoses, and violence on March 7, aka Bloody Sunday, Bev Luther, a white Northerner, determined she could no longer afford to remain a spectator.

There is information that I'm reading, that I didn't know that took place during the movement in south. I found this book to be very insightful. The writing was amazing! I have heard several stories about Bloody Sunday, but never from the viewpoint of a Caucasian woman who was a volunteer.
