520    "Catherine Flowers grew up in Lowndes County, Alabama, a 
       place that's been called "Bloody Lowndes" because of its 
       violent, racist history. Once the epicenter of the voting 
       rights struggle, today it's Ground Zero for a new movement
       that is Flowers's life's work. It's a fight to ensure 
       human dignity through a right most Americans take for 
       granted: basic sanitation. Too many people, especially the
       rural poor, lack an affordable means of disposing cleanly 
       of the waste from their toilets, and, as a consequence, 
       live amid filth. Flowers calls this America's dirty 
       secret. In this powerful book she tells the story of 
       systemic class, racial, and geographic prejudice that 
       foster Third World conditions, not just in Alabama, but 
       across America, in Appalachia, Central California, coastal
       Florida, Alaska, the urban Midwest, and on Native American
       reservations in the West. Flowers's book is the inspiring 
       story of the evolution of an activist, from country girl 
       to student civil rights organizer to environmental justice
       champion at Bryan Stevenson's Equal Justice Initiative. It
       shows how sanitation is becoming too big a problem to 
       ignore as climate change brings sewage to more backyards, 
       and not only those of poor minorities"--|cProvided by
