Civil Rights Queen: Constance Baker Motley and the struggle for equality. Tomiko Brown-Nagin. Pantheon, 2022.

Hardback, like new text and dust jacket. Motley is “firmly atop the Mount Rushmore of the Movement’s legal architects.” For many years the only woman on the NAACP Legal Defense Fund’s legal team, helped litigate Brown v. Board of Education; defended MLK Jr. in Birmingham, first black woman elected to the NY State Senate; these are only a few of her successes. Read more about this outstanding woman. [Dust jacket blurb]
