At the Dark End of the Street featured on the Root:
McGuire, an assistant professor in the history department of Wayne State University in Detroit, tells the history of Parks’ activism in her just-published book, At the Dark End of the Street: Black Women, Rape, and Resistance — a New History of the Civil Rights Movement From Rosa Parks to the Rise of Black Power. She gives a name to a few of the many women who risked their lives by speaking about brutality and injustice. They claimed their dignity and womanhood in a society that refused to recognize either.
