Maxine Smith's Unwilling Pupils is the authorized biography of
Maxine Atkins Smith. As such it tells the story of the civil rights
movement in Memphis from Smith's viewpoint. Primarily based on
newspaper accounts from the 1960s and 1970s and on Smith's papers
housed at the Memphis Public Library, the book also draws from a
rich source of interviews conducted by the coauthors and others.
This book presents a well-balanced historical background of the
civil rights era even while serving as a tribute to Maxine Smith
and her work. A panoramic view of Maxine's life, Maxine Smith's
Unwilling Pupils, presents one woman's struggle as a prism for
understanding the human dimensions of the fight for equality. The
biography portrays Smith's lifelong focus on education as she tried
to enlighten both blacks and whites about equality and the
inalienable rights of all races. Along the way she became the face
of the civil rights movement in Memphis during a critical time in
the movement's history. Maxine's unwilling pupils often hated her
for her outspoken and tenacious advocacy for those rights; her
followers loved her for her unwavering commitment to ensure the
rights of African Americans. Smith's selfless struggles as
chronicled in this biography will leave no doubt that her influence
on the progress of civil rights in Memphis was profound. Moreover,
her example of tireless commitment should inspire the efforts of
new generations of equal rights activists to come.
