Once the epicenter of the voting rights struggle, today it's Ground Zero for a new movement that is Flowers's life's work. It's a fight to ensure human dignity through a right most Americans take for granted: basic sanitation. Too many people, especially the rural poor, lack an affordable means of disposing cleanly of the waste from their toilets, and, as a consequence, live amid filth. Flowers calls this America's dirty secret. In this powerful book she tells the story of systemic class, racial, and geographic prejudice that foster Third World conditions, not just in Alabama, but across America, in Appalachia, Central California, coastal Florida, Alaska, the urban Midwest, and on Native American reservations in the West. Flowers's book is the inspiring story of the evolution of an activist, from country girl to student civil rights organizer to environmental justice champion at Bryan Stevenson's Equal Justice Initiative. It shows how sanitation is becoming too big a problem to ignore as climate change brings sewage to more backyards, and not only those of poor minorities"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.72849 Fl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.72849 Flowe Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.72849 Fl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.72849 Fl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.72849 Fl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
