After Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated in my town, I started calling my maid \"Mrs.\" -- while my husband and children didn't. The family's prominence in business gave me the security to change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Born in 1940, I hit adulthood in Memphis during its 1960s turmoil. My value system was turned upside down. I tried to straddle the life I was reared to live and the life that was revolting against the former me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A second sanitation workers strike was threatened for July 1969. July, as in flies! The mayor and the union were at an impasse. Enter the women! I found myself leading a march on city hall and demanding resolution, pretty darn well. The sanitation workers and the city deserved better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e I got divorced, became an attorney, started mediation in Memphis, and founded an award-winning human relations organization, the Memphis Panel of American Women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e From Memphis to the State House to the White House, this book charts my journey through sacrifice, even death, but also crazy situations and funny incidents. I learned \"HTSFIAMI.\" Read the book to find out what it means. Along this path, I have walked beside some incredible people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The balance sheet is positive. There was new insight, new friends, and new values, banjo picking, and an old crush -- who loves me still today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 380\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 25, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48143017935107,"sku":"9780996345866","price":175.4,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/9310\/7359\/files\/JL4yXChIHg9780996345866.webp?v=1778824493","url":"https:\/\/annizon.com\/en-ae\/products\/jocie-southern-jewish-american-princess-civil-rights-activist-hardcover","provider":"annizon.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
