Opis

"A Matter of Black and White" is the personal story of an Oklahoma woman whose fight to gain an education formed a crucial episode in the civil rights movement. Born in Chickasha, Oklahoma, of parents only one generation removed from slavery, Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher became the plaintiff in a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that laid the foundation for the eventual desegregation of schools (and much else) in America.

"A Matter of Black and White "resounds with almost universal human themes-childhood, school, friends, colleagues, community, and a love that lasted a lifetime.
