Book Reading and Celebration of "Hands on the Freedom Plow"
Come Join the Bay Area Veterans of the Civil Rights Movement at USF on Saturday November 6th when they will host a coming-out book party for the long awaited "Hands on the Plow: Personal Accounts by Women in SNCC."
Every aspect of SNCC's history is represented in this anthology of the writings of 52 of the SNCC women who worked on the front lines of the Southern Freedom Struggle. They are northern and southern, young and old, urban and rural, black, white, and Latina; and their stories are powerful testimonies to the intensity of the struggle for social change.
For more information about "Hands on the Freedom Plow"
Please pick up a copy of this book at your favorite independent bookstore, and ask them to stock it. You will not be able to purchase it at this event, but you will be able to have yours signed by the four contributors who live in the Bay Area and by special guest Faith Holsaert, one of the six editors, all SNCC women, who have labored for 15 years to get this book published.
Join us in celebration.
