In this enlightening audiobook, Tonya Bolden explores the remarkable life of Dovey Johnson Roundtree, a pioneering attorney and civil rights advocate. Known for her defense of an indigent Black man in a high-profile murder case and for her groundbreaking work in bus desegregation, Roundtree's journey spans from her childhood in Jim Crow North Carolina to her impactful career as one of the first Black women in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps and an ordained minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Bolden paints a vivid portrait of Roundtree's commitment to justice and her significant contributions to 20th-century civil rights and African American culture.
