- Description
- Patricia Due describes the struggle she and others were engaged in to fight the Jim Crow laws in Florida. Her story not only praises the efforts of those whose names do not appear in history books but also places the state battle into the larger narrative of the national civil rights movement. Her daughter's story is about the success and problems of the black freedom struggle after this national civil rights movement.
