Synopsis

A young reader's adaptation of Mighty Justice: My Life in Civil Rights, the memoir of activist and trailblazer Dovey Johnson Roundtree, by Katie McCabe.

Raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the heart of Jim Crow, Dovey Johnson Roundtree felt the sting of
inequality at an early age and made a point to speak up for justice. She was one of the first Black women to
break the racial and gender barriers in the US Army when women were barely allowed to serve; a fierce
attorney in the segregated courtrooms of Washington, DC; and a minister in Black churches, where women
had never before had the chance to speak. In 1955, Roundtree won a landmark bus desegregation case that
eventually helped end "separate but equal" and destroy insidious Jim Crow laws across the South.

There are many key figures of the civil rights movement whose names don't often appear in history books,
those who fought hard for equality behind the scenes. Developed with the full support of the Dovey Johnson Roundtree Educational Trust and adapted from her memoir, this book brings her inspiring,
important story and voice to life.
