To Keep the Waters Troubled is an unforgettable account of a remarkable woman and the times she helped to change.
In the generation that followed Frederick Douglass, no African American was more prominent or outspoken than Ida B. Wells, who focused her eloquence on the horrors of lynching. Using diary entries, letters, and published writings, McMurry illuminates Wells's fiery personality and the uncompromising approach that sometimes lost her friendships even as it won great victories. 25 halftones & line illustrations.
