In this biography of her parents, Maxine Childress Brown pays tribute to the tenacity and dignity with which her mother and father - both of whom were deaf and African American - lived and raised three hearing daughters in Washington, D.C. during the deeply segregated decades of the mid-twentieth century. "On the Beat of Truth" is a stunning personal history, reflecting upon the complex struggles encountered at the tenuous intersection of race and disability.
Maxine Childress Brown is an interpreter for the deaf, certified by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, and a former assistant professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology, New York, and SUNY Geneseo.
