2/2 Women's Words: Sue Sojourner
Sue [Lorenzi] Sojourner is a veteran of the civil rights movement who worked from fall 1964 through summer 1969 to help the black Holmes County, Mississippians build a viable, powerful, and effective political and social movement. In addition to her newly-published book Thunder of Freedom: Black Leadership and the Transformation of 1960s Mississippi, written in collaboration with UMD's own Cheryl Reitan, she has produced two photography exhibitions using reproductions of her original 1960s photographs.
