The Desegregated Heart: A Virginian's Stand In Time Of Transition (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781104836184)

The Desegregated Heart: A Virginian's Stand In Time Of Transition is a memoir by Sarah Patton Boyle. The book is about Boyle's experiences living in Virginia during the civil rights movement. Boyle was born into a wealthy, white family in Virginia and grew up in a segregated society. However, she became increasingly aware of the injustices of segregation and decided to take a stand against it. The book details Boyle's journey from being a supporter of segregation to becoming an advocate for civil rights. She describes her experiences working with civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., and her involvement in protests and demonstrations. Boyle also writes about the personal toll her activism took on her, including the strain it put on her relationships with her family and friends. The Desegregated Heart is a powerful and personal account of one woman's journey towards racial equality. It offers a unique perspective on the civil rights movement from someone who was born into the very system she fought against. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the civil rights movement and the ongoing struggle for racial justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
