What Has Happened to the Dream?; IndexThis first-hand account tells the story of turbulent civil rights era Atlanta through the eyes of a white upper-class woman who became an outspoken advocate for integration and racial equality. As a privileged white woman who grew up in segregated Atlanta, Sara Mitchell Parsons was an unlikely candidate to become a civil rights agitator. After all, her only contacts with blacks were with those who helped raise her and those who later helped raise her children.Women civil rights workersHistoryCivil rights20th centuryAtlantaGeorgiaBiographyCivil rights workersAtlantaGeorgiaBiographyWomen, WhiteGeorgiaAtlantaBiographyAfrican AmericansGeorgiaAtlanta (Ga.)BiographyAtlanta (Ga.)Race relationsAtlanta (Ga.)Politics and government20th centuryWomen civil rights workersHistoryCivil rightsCivil rights workersWomen, WhiteAfrican Americans323323/.092Parsons Sara Mitchell1912-2001.1573420AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910778830603321From Southern wrongs to civil rights3849146UNINA
