Mighty Justice: My Life in Civil Rights

Discover the incredible story of Dovey Johnson Roundtree, a trailblazing African American civil rights attorney, in Mighty Justice: My Life in Civil Rights. This gripping memoir is a testament to the power of perseverance and the impact of a single individual on shaping history. With racial tensions still prevalent in our society, Roundtree's story is more urgent than ever. Follow her journey from the streets of Charlotte to the segregated courtrooms of the nation's capital, where she courageously challenged the white legal establishment and won a landmark bus desegregation case in 1955. Her triumphs helped dismantle the practice of "separate but equal" and shattered Jim Crow laws.

But Roundtree's fight for justice didn't end there. She broke gender and color barriers in the male-dominated army, becoming a true icon of empowerment. Later, she merged her law practice with her ministry to advocate for families and children affected by urban violence. In 1961, Roundtree led the way for women to be ordained as ministers in the AME Church, leaving an indelible mark on both the legal and religious landscapes of America.

Despite her significant and influential achievements, Dovey Roundtree remains largely unknown to the American public. Mighty Justice aims to correct this historical oversight and bring her inspiring story to light. Michelle Obama herself praised Roundtree, stating that she "set a new path for women" and showcased how a single person can change the course of history.
