Mollie Moon lived abroad in the 1930s but came home to fight against Jim Crow segregation in the United States. With her husband Henry Lee Moon, Mollie became half of one of the most influential couples of the civil rights era. Ford provides a searing portrait of a remarkable period in America and a strategic economic blueprint today's activists can emulate.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 323.1196 Fo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
