Groundbreaking, controversial, and courageous, here is the story of Rosa Parks and Recy Taylor--a story that reinterprets the history of America's civil rights movement in terms of the sexual violence committed against Black women by white men.

"An important step to finally facing the terrible legacies of race and gender in this country." --The Washington Post

Rosa Parks was often described as a sweet and reticent elderly woman whose tired feet caused her to defy segregation on Montgomery's city buses, and whose supposedly solitary, spontaneous act sparked the 1955 bus boycott that gave birth to the civil rights movement. The truth of who Rosa Parks was and what really lay beneath the 1955 boycott is far different from anything previously written.

In this groundbreaking and important book, Danielle McGuire writes about the rape in 1944 of a twenty-four-year-old mother and sharecropper, Recy Taylor, who strolled toward home after an evening of singing and praying at the Rock Hill Holiness Church in Abbeville, Alabama. Seven white men, armed with knives and shotguns, ordered the young woman into their green Chevrolet, raped her, and left her for dead. The president of the local NAACP branch office sent his best investigator and organizer--Rosa Parks--to Abbeville. In taking on this case, Parks launched a movement that exposed a ritualized history of sexual assault against Black women and added fire to the growing call for change.

Smells wonderful
I purchased this for my granddaughter. She has eczema on her upper arms. It smells great and lathers up very quickly. It does moisturize the skin too. I will update once we see if it takes care of her eczema. Definitely would buy again.

Effective & Great Value!
I’m a connoisseur of soaps - liquid - solid - fragrant decadent soaps - not so fragrant soaps - but I was searching for a soap to soothe my hands from a lot of handwashing over the years & autoimmune issues.I chose this soap based on reviews & was not disappointed. It delivers what the description states.Calms down the itching & dryness. Effective Product This soap fits my criteria- a good sized bar - lathers softly- quite moisturizing- glides over my hands - smells so good - a little spicy smell - reasonably priced- also very good for my body - I ordered another bar for good measure!

Good and effective
While waiting for my appointment with the doctor, I decided to give it a try, and it helped me a lot in controlling a minor allergic reaction I had on my skin.

Worth a try
Fast Delivery as described. I'm on my 3rd round of antibiotics for a skin rash due to a allergy to a medication. The soap and a microbial spray is helping with the itching and we expect it to continue. The redness is turning pink and is getting better. I like that it has natural ingredients. I think it works with in con. It's worth a try.
