Reseña del libro "Glorious Ride: The Story of Henry Woods McLaughlin (en Inglés)"
Glorious Ride: The Story of Henry Woods McLaughlin is a biography written by James McLeod Carr. The book tells the story of Henry Woods McLaughlin, a prominent lawyer and civil rights activist from the American South. McLaughlin was born in 1906 in Georgia, and he grew up in a time of racial segregation and discrimination. Despite these obstacles, he went on to attend law school at Howard University, where he became involved in the civil rights movement. Throughout his career, McLaughlin fought for equal rights for African Americans, taking on cases that challenged segregation and discrimination in the South. He also played a key role in the desegregation of the University of Georgia, which had been an all-white institution until 1961. In addition to his work as a lawyer and civil rights activist, McLaughlin was also a talented musician and a devoted family man. The book explores his personal life as well as his professional achievements, painting a vivid portrait of a man who was both a trailblazer and a deeply compassionate human being. Glorious Ride draws on extensive research and interviews with McLaughlin's family and colleagues to provide a comprehensive and engaging account of his life and legacy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in civil rights history, legal history, or the history of the American South.This is a new release of the original 1958 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
