This film provides a moving, in-depth biography of an organizer and journalist who,for a remarkable 60 years, participated in the most significant movements for racial and economic justice in the South. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. praised her steadfast activism in support of civil rights and civil liberties, but she was threatened, attacked, indicted, and labeled a "communist agitator" and "race traitor" by white supremacists. Her conservative background gave her special insight into white racism, why it poses such a great obstacle to social change, and what progressive white people can do to end it.
