Mighty Justice (Young Readers' Edition)

This young reader's adaptation of Mighty Justice: My Life in Civil Rights tells the inspiring story of Dovey Johnson Roundtree, an influential activist who challenged racial and gender barriers in the mid-20th century America. Raised in the segregated South, Roundtree became one of the first Black women to serve in the US Army, a groundbreaking attorney in Washington, DC, and a minister in Black churches. Her efforts culminated in a significant victory in a bus desegregation case, contributing to the fight against Jim Crow laws. Crafted with the support of the Dovey Johnson Roundtree Educational Trust, this adaptation highlights the important yet often overlooked figures of the civil rights movement.
