White Allies in the Struggle for Racial Justice

This inspirational book profiles 18 white Americans who broke with a racist culture to join in the struggle for racial justice— from early abolitionists, to partners in the civil rights struggle, to contemporary figures of our own time. White Allies challenges the idea that racial justice is a concern only for people of color, and shows that there are and have been white men and women who took up this challenge, often at great risk. At a time of renewed attention to the ongoing scourge of racial injustice, their stories are intended to inspire, raise consciousness, and motivate action on behalf of equality and human dignity.Drick Boyd;, Drick Boyd
