Sherrod was a lifelong activist who served as Georgia's first black
director of rural development. In the summer of 2010, a right-wing
blogger disseminated an ill- conceived video clip of a speech
Sherrod had given to the Georgia NAACP, intending to make her an
example of "reverse racism." The media frenzy that ensued caused
the Obama administration to demand her resignation. After hearing
from Sherrod herself and learning the entire truth of what she said
in that speech, the administration tried to backtrack. Public
officials and media professionals admitted to being duped and
apologized for their rush to judgment. Ultimately, Sherrod found
herself the subject of a teachable moment. The Courage to Hope
addresses this regrettable moment in American politics, but it also
tells Sherrod's own story of growing up on a farm in southwest
Georgia during the final violent years of Jim Crow.
