The aim of the editor, Philip Fetzer, is to humanize the concept of
equality; each of these vividly autobiographical essays gives voice
to the writer's first experience of inequality, and the point at
which each became committed to the search for equality. In the
seven selections in Part I, "Moments", the authors describe
critical experiences in their lives that awakened in them a new and
deeper understanding of equality. In the remaining five essays in
Part II, "From the Beginning", each contributor describes how he or
she came to know the meaning of equality at an early age. The
majority of these essays have been written exclusively for this
volume or appear here for the first time; they have been selected
to represent widely diverse backgrounds with regard to ethnicity,
gender, occupation, and social/economic class, and convey with
dramatic immediacy the themes of human conflict, personal triumph,
determination, individual achievement, adversity, love and
understanding.
This anthology focuses on the experiences of Americans whose lives
have been strongly affected by the pursuit of equality in areas
such as politics law, education, and government. Each of these
vividly autobiographical essays gives voice to the writer's first
personal experience of inequality, and the point at which each
became committed to the search for equality.
