{"product_id":"hatties-book-beverly-jane-phillips-9780963665973","title":"Hattie's Book: A Woman's Life in a City's History","description":"Hattie Belle Kay Williams was born in December of 1922 on South Lake Park Avenue in Chicago, living on that street until her death in 1990. She was a poor but powerful, determined black woman who fought against the powers of public policy using both charity and social action undergirded by her deep and abiding faith in God. In her home, which contained a food pantry and clothes closet, she organized GED classes and classes on self-esteem, sewing, budgeting, cooking. Her outreach into the suburban white churches of Chicago brought greatly needed donations of money, food, clothing, and furniture. She was politically active in the school boycotts of the 1960s and ran for the office of alderman in 1973. Excerpts from several interviews of Hattie tell of her work in her own words. In this book the history of the public policies that built and enforced the segregation of black citizens of Chicago are interwoven with the story of Hattie's life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beverly Jane Phillips\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0963665979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780963665973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Bechtold Library Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.39d","brand":"Beverly Jane Phillips","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44063518163199,"sku":"9780963665973","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8729d474-a13c-4cbb-8ec1-d034326a6341.jpg?v=1685390032","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hatties-book-beverly-jane-phillips-9780963665973","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
