NEW: Medgar and Myrlie

"I love this book.  The empathic, brilliant and wise Joy Reid has brought us the poignant, fascinating inside story of an important marriage in American history.  Even more than that, 'Medgar & Myrlie' shows us how Black Americans and other citizens who have been locked out of the full promise of America must never expect to expand their rights merely by seeking the kindness of Presidents or power elites.  That sacred duty demands brave, transformational leaders like Medgar and Myrlie Evers, who confronted pure evil and risked their lives to ensure that all American children might grow up in a United States that was more just.  As Reid shows us, that painful task is now more urgent than ever.”
