Notes
Description
Ford illuminates the powerhouse fund-raising effort that supported the Civil Rights Movement: luncheons, galas, card parties and traveling exhibitions attended by middle-class and working class Black families, the Negro press, and titans of industry. Mollie Moon lived abroad in the 1930s but came home to fight against Jim Crow segregation in the United States. With her husband Henry Lee Moon, Mollie became half of one of the most influential couples of the civil rights era. Ford provides a searing portrait of a remarkable period in America and a strategic economic blueprint today's activists can emulate. -- adapted from jacket
