Industry reviews
"This marvelous book testified twice to the power of personal integrity, determination, and courage. Its subject, Mae Bertha Carter, and its author, Constance Curry, are two of a kind--women whose convictions and actions would not be denied." Publisher's catalogue - Andrew Young " 'Silver Rights' is a reminder not only of the gains we have made in this country but of the spirit we often seem to have lost....[T]he book has an immediacy, intimacy and emotional truth that history rarely reveals. It also unfolds with a simplicity of words and facts that make the Carters' courage, faith and love a reality any reader can share....Reading this book is a reminder of the deep interconnectedness of our lives, of the power of conscience when people care about and for each other, and are willing to act with love against the forces of hatred and violence." Smithsonian - Paul Trachtman (06/19/1997) "Curry tells the Carters' modest story well, giving the rider a solid feel for the tenor of small-town Mississippi life in an era that now seems eons away...A solid contribution to the literature of recent American political history." Kent "A book you should send to your representatives in Congress to remind them of the dear price at which our freedoms have been won and how fragile they are." Young
