Groundbreaking, controversial, and courageous, here is the story of Rosa Parks and Recy Taylor--a story that reinterprets the history of America's civil rights movement in terms of the sexual violence committed against Black women by white men.

"An important step to finally facing the terrible legacies of race and gender in this country." --The Washington Post

Rosa Parks was often described as a sweet and reticent elderly woman whose tired feet caused her to defy segregation on Montgomery's city buses, and whose supposedly solitary, spontaneous act sparked the 1955 bus boycott that gave birth to the civil rights movement. The truth of who Rosa Parks was and what really lay beneath the 1955 boycott is far different from anything previously written.

In this groundbreaking and important book, Danielle McGuire writes about the rape in 1944 of a twenty-four-year-old mother and sharecropper, Recy Taylor, who strolled toward home after an evening of singing and praying at the Rock Hill Holiness Church in Abbeville, Alabama. Seven white men, armed with knives and shotguns, ordered the young woman into their green Chevrolet, raped her, and left her for dead. The president of the local NAACP branch office sent his best investigator and organizer--Rosa Parks--to Abbeville. In taking on this case, Parks launched a movement that exposed a ritualized history of sexual assault against Black women and added fire to the growing call for change.

Epson printer and Epson ink equals a reliable system.
Size: Standard Capacity, Style: Ink
These Epson Ink cartridges always work. I understand that aftermarket cartridges are cheaper but in the past after using them my printer overtime will fail and ill need to purchase a new printer. I have only used these Epson 822 cartridges in my most recent printer and it has lasted the longest.

Necessary purchase
Size: Standard Capacity, Style: Ink
Our household has two of the same kind of printer that takes this brand and number of ink, and we have had no problems with the ones we've bought. It's just frustrating that the cartridges are SO expensive, and they have to be genuine, the printers won't run remanufactured ink.
