Legacy and Liberation: Fathers, Founders, and the Continued Fight for Justice

From Detroit to the Rio Grande Valley, from the halls of Congress to the courtrooms of Texas, these authors offer intimate portraits of men who changed the course of American civil rights history. In My Father’s House, John Conyers III reflects on growing up in the shadow of his father’s monumental legacy and the path he’s forging for himself as the son of Congressman John Conyers Jr. In The Texas Civil Rights Project, Jim Harrington recounts five decades of fighting for justice, from farmworkers' rights to police accountability. Both authors explore what it means to carry a movement forward while honoring those who came before.
