- Book Synopsis
- Thandi writes of coming of age in apartheid South Africa, the reasons for her self-exile in the US, and her exhaustive work to liberate her people. In Measured manner and without hesitation, she shares her Atlanta-based work with prominent US civil rights leaders, students, universities, local and state elected officials, and religious congregations whom she skillfully organized across a rich diversity of race, income, political affiliations, and faiths. South Africa's horrific apartheid enforcement, unlike the Jim Crow laws in the US, never leaves her memoir's center stage. Its abolition was the driving force for Thandi's countless speaking engagements, boycotts and sanctions divestment campaigns culminating with the contentious, nine years Coca-Cola campaign. Thandi demonstrates the profound influence on her activism of her parents, Nokukhanya Luthuli, and Noble Peace Prize recipient, Albert Luthuli. The memoir is an important historical account of one humble person's perseverance. It is an inspirational guide for nonviolent actions in opposition to injustice.
