Groundbreaking, controversial, and courageous, here is the story of Rosa Parks and Recy Taylor--a story that reinterprets the history of America's civil rights movement in terms of the sexual violence committed against Black women by white men.

"An important step to finally facing the terrible legacies of race and gender in this country." --The Washington Post

Rosa Parks was often described as a sweet and reticent elderly woman whose tired feet caused her to defy segregation on Montgomery's city buses, and whose supposedly solitary, spontaneous act sparked the 1955 bus boycott that gave birth to the civil rights movement. The truth of who Rosa Parks was and what really lay beneath the 1955 boycott is far different from anything previously written.

In this groundbreaking and important book, Danielle McGuire writes about the rape in 1944 of a twenty-four-year-old mother and sharecropper, Recy Taylor, who strolled toward home after an evening of singing and praying at the Rock Hill Holiness Church in Abbeville, Alabama. Seven white men, armed with knives and shotguns, ordered the young woman into their green Chevrolet, raped her, and left her for dead. The president of the local NAACP branch office sent his best investigator and organizer--Rosa Parks--to Abbeville. In taking on this case, Parks launched a movement that exposed a ritualized history of sexual assault against Black women and added fire to the growing call for change.

Great for. Recommend swapping set screws out for longer ones.
Works great and fits like a glove. Would recommend providing install instructions for less mechanically inclined individuals and definitely switching to MUCH longer set screws.

Heavy duty, super stretchy, and keeps everything secure!
I am impressed with this truck bed cargo net. It stretches incredibly well to cover full loads, but snaps back into shape perfectly without sagging. The elastic mesh is thick and feels very durable. The included hooks are sturdy and make it super easy to anchor down to the truck bed tie-downs in just a few seconds. I’ve used it for groceries, camping gear, and loose boxes on the highway, and absolutely nothing shifts or flies out. If you want peace of mind while driving your truck, this organizer is a must-have. Highly recommended!
