Marcia Walker-McWilliams tells the incredible story of Addie Wyatt and her times. What began for Wyatt as a journey to overcome poverty became a lifetime commitment to social justice and the collective struggle against economic, racial, and gender inequalities. Walker-McWilliams illuminates how Wyatt's own experiences with hardship and many forms of discrimination drove her work as an activist and leader. A parallel journey led her to develop an abiding spiritual faith, one that denied defeatism by refusing to accept such circumstances as immutable social forces.
Drawing on oral histories, interviews conducted with Wyatt's colleagues and families, personal papers, and extensive archival data, Reverend Addie Wyatt is the inspiring portrait of a woman who defied injustice in its many guises.
