Dorothy Bishop, the Life and Times of a Civil Rights Activist
"The time was April 7 1995, we were living in one of the most momentous periods of human history. It was an exciting age filled with hope. It was an age in which a new social order was being born. We stood between two worlds-the dying old and the emerging new. The Civil Rights activist was committed to maintaining the struggle for social justice then as well as today. I hope this book reminds you of the story of an old black woman on a cold morning in Montgomery, Alabama in 1956. That morning as she began her slow painful four mile walk to her job, you could tell she was tired and her feet were sore. It was the tenth month of the Montgomery bus boycott. One young man asked her if her feet were tired. She answered by saying these words: 'Yes friend my feet is real tired, but my soul is rested'."--Back cover.
