About this listen

Ordinary Heroes of Racial Justice is a beacon of hope for understanding America's complex racial landscape. Through rigorous historical research and compelling narrative storytelling, this book illuminates the past's intersections of Christianity, race, and place, offering profound insights for today's world. Beyond history, Ordinary Heroes of Racial Justice empowers listeners with practical recommendations, encouraging them to rethink and reshape their own communities for justice.

This book explores the important role faith plays in radical justice by looking at the intertwining of faith and racial justice as a driving force throughout history; examining faith communities who served as catalysts for social change by championing equality and justice; exploring teachings that inspired advocates to confront systemic racism and propagate the message of love, acceptance, and unity; and studying key figures that used faith as a foundation to fuel their activism for civil rights.

Whether you're a scholar, teacher, activist, or avid listener of US history, Ordinary Heroes of Racial Justice will enrich your understanding and inspire action as you uncover the stories of those who dared to be different for the greater good and joined the pursuit of justice.
