Dan Berger's book, Stayed on Freedom: the Long History of Black Power Through One Family's Journey, tells the story about the fight against racism in all its blatant and hideous forms. It's about spiritual quests, and the work of real organizing and what can be created through it. It's a story of love, of political struggle in some of the darkest, most terrifying corners of the civil rights movement.

Dr. Zoharah Simmons, a veteran of SNCC and of the Black Power Anti-Women's Movement in the 1960s, is a professor emerita from University of Florida.
