*Personal Accounts by Women in SNCC*
*Panel Discussion and Book Signing*
Thursday, February 2, 7:00 PM
Harvard Book Store, 1256 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA

HANDS ON THE FREEDOM PLOW: Personal Accounts by Women in SNCC includes 
the personal testimonies of 52 women -- southern and northern, young and 
older, urban and rural, black, white and Latina -- who share their 
courageous personal stories of working for the Students Nonviolent 
Coordinating Committee (SNCC) on the front lines of the Southern Civil 
Rights Movement in the 1960's.   From Bernice Reagon (founder of Sweet 
Honey in the Rock) to women who are known only among the ranks of the 
Movement -- these are wondrous stories of strength, resilience and even 
humor.

About the Houston Institute

*
*
*
Established in the fall of 2005 at Harvard Law School by Professor 
Charles J. Ogletree, Jr., the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for 
Race and Justice (CHHIRJ) seeks to honor the extraordinary contributions 
of one of the great lawyers of the twentieth century. Charles Hamilton 
Houston dedicated his life to using the law as a tool to reverse the 
unjust consequences of racial discrimination. CHHIRJ is committed to 
marshalling the resources of Harvard and beyond to continue his 
unfinished work.
