At the Dark End of the Street: Black Women, Rape, and Resistance--A New History of the Civil Rights Movement from Rosa Parks to the Rise of Black Power by Danielle L. McGuire

5.0

Necessary, necessary, necessary read. Beginning with the assault of Recy Taylor through the trial of Joan Little, McGuire lays out the history of the civil rights movement as a response to the violation and dehumanization of black womanhood. Necessary read, I’ll say it again.
