In this powerful biography, David T. Beito and Linda Royster Beito shine a light on the life and accomplishments of civil rights leader T. R. M. Howard. He founded black community organizations, organized civil rights rallies and boycotts, mentored Medgar Evers, antagonized the Ku Klux Klan, and helped lead the fight for justice for Emmett Till. Raised in poverty and witness to racial violence from a young age, Howard was passionate about justice and equality. Ambitious, zealous, and sometimes paradoxical, provides a complete portrait of an important leader all too often forgotten.
