520    "Bestselling author Reverend Al Sharpton brings to light 
       the stories of the unsung heroes of the Civil Rights 
       movement, drawing on his unique perspective in the history
       of the fight for social justice in America "This is the 
       time. We won't stop until we change the whole system of 
       justice."--Rev. Al Sharpton While the world may know the 
       major names of the Civil Rights movement, there are 
       countless lesser-known heroes fighting the good fight to 
       advance equal justice for all, heeding the call when no 
       one else was listening, often risking their lives and 
       livelihoods in the process. Righteous Troublemakers shines
       a light on everyday people called to do extraordinary 
       things--like Pauli Murray, whose early work informed 
       Thurgood Marshall's legal argument for Brown v. Board of 
       Education, Claudette Colvin, who refused to give up her 
       seat on a segregated bus months before Rosa Parks did the 
       same, and Gwen Carr, whose private pain in losing her son 
       Eric Garner stoked her public activism against police 
       brutality. Sharpton also illuminates the lives of more 
       widely known individuals, revealing overlooked details, 
       historical connections, and a perspective informed by 
       years of working on the front line of the social justice 
       movement, to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the 
       wheels of justice and the individuals who have helped 
       advance its cause. Also, don't miss Reverend Sharpton's 
       previous book, Rise Up: Confronting a Country at the 
       Crossroads. Michael Eric Dyson calls it "a gift from Al 
       Sharpton to us"--|cProvided by publisher.
