Deep in Our Hearts is an eloquent and powerful book that takes us
into the lives of nine young women who came of age in the 1960s
while committing themselves actively and passionately to the
struggle for racial equality and justice. These compelling
first-person accounts take us back to one of the most tumultuous
periods in our nation's history--to the early days of the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and Students for a
Democratic Society (SDS), the Albany Freedom Ride, voter
registration drives and lunch counter sit-ins, Freedom Summer, the
1964 Democratic Convention, and the rise of Black Power and the
women's movement. The book delves into the hearts of the women to
ask searching questions. Why did they, of all the white women
growing up in their hometowns, cross the color line in the days of
segregation and join the Southern Freedom Movement? What did they
see, do, think, and feel in those uncertain but hopeful days? And
how did their experiences shape the rest of their lives?
