Overview
āMichelle Obama
InĀ Mighty Justice, trailblazing African AmericanĀ civil rights attorney Dovey Johnson Roundtree recounts herĀ inspiring life storyĀ that speaks movingly and urgently to our racially troubled times. From theĀ streets of Charlotte,Ā North Carolina, to the segregated courtrooms of theĀ nationās capital; from the male stronghold of the army whereĀ she broke genderĀ and color barriers to the pulpits of churches where women had waited for yearsĀ for the right toĀ ministerāin all these places, Dovey Johnson Roundtree soughtĀ justice. At a time when African AmericanĀ attorneys had to leave the courthousesĀ to use the bathroom, Roundtree took on Washingtonās white legalĀ establishmentĀ and prevailed, winning a 1955 landmark bus desegregation case that would helpĀ to dismantle theĀ practice of āseparate but equalā and shatter Jim Crow laws. Later, she led the vanguard of women ordainedĀ to the ministry in the AMEĀ Church in 1961, merging her law practice with her ministry to fight forĀ families andĀ children being destroyed by urban violence.
Dovey RoundtreeĀ passed away in 2018 at the age of 104. Though her achievements were significant and influential, sheĀ remains largely unknownĀ to the American public.Ā Mighty JusticeĀ corrects the historical record.
