SHERYLL CASHIN: THE AGITATOR'S DAUGHTER
We're sending you to a lot of readings lately, especially of a political flavor. Either we're preparing you for the upcoming presidential election, or it's just a relative coincidence. Well, it's probably that many publishers just know their audience and are playing the timeline as the campaigns ramp up their activities. Sheryll Cashin is a Gerogetown law professor with social justice practically embedded in her DNA. Her family has been involved in social justice issues since the Reconstruction era, and she shows no signs of slowing down. The Agitator's Daughter follows her family tree through time and chronicles a history of advocacy in the battle for integration and equality.
