South Bend to Spring Valley: The Davids-Sims Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966924654)

The 1960s was a tumultuous period in this country's history by any measure, with the civil rights movement taking center stage. The social and political unrest that defined this era provided a turbulent backdrop for a burgeoning friendship between two families: one black - the Sims, and one white - the Davids. Their compelling story unfolds via heartfelt correspondence and acts of genuine kindness untainted by prejudice. The ensuing publicity would cast a much-needed spotlight on discrimination, but also call into question their motives and deeds. Despite this, the Sims and Davids forged a fellowship, through benevolence and strength of faith, that served as a beacon of hope for all who would strive for racial harmony.
