Summary:
"Grace Lee Boggs's autobiography traces the story of a woman who transcended class and racial boundaries to pursue her passionate belief in a better society. Now with a new foreword by Robin D.G. Kelley, Living for Change is a sweeping account of a legendary human rights activist whose network included Malcolm X and C.L.R. James. From the end of the thirties, through the cold war, the civil rights era, and the rise of the Black Panthers to later efforts to rebuild crumbling urban communities, Living for Change is an exhilarating look at a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to social justice."--Provided by publisher.
