Summary:
Mamie
Till-Mobley
is the mother of
Emmett
Till
, the 14-year-old boy who was brutally murdered while visiting the South in 1955. His death became a rallying point for the
civil
rights
movement
, but few know that it was his mother who was the catalyst for bringing his name to the forefront of history. In
Choosing
Brave
, Angela Joy and Janelle Washington offer a testament to the power of love, the bond of motherhood, and one woman's unwavering advocacy for justice. It is a poised, moving work about a woman who refocused her unimaginable grief into action for the greater good.
Mamie
fearlessly refused to allow America to turn away from what happened to her only child. She turned pain into change that ensured her son's life mattered. Timely, powerful, and beautifully told, this thorough and moving story has been masterfully crafted to be both comprehensive and suitable for younger readers.
