Barefootin': Life Lessons from the Road to Freedom

Ebony,  July, 2006  

In BAREFOOTIN': LIFE LESSONS FROM THE ROAD TO FREEDOM (Crown Publishers, $23), Unita Blackwell with co-author JoAnne Prichard Morris writes a riveting memoir about her extraordinary transformation from living the life of a hopeless sharecropper to a formidable participant in the Civil Rights Movement.

She is a fellow of the Institute of Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. She has received numerous awards for her contributions to human rights, including a genius grant from the MacArthur Foundation. She lives in Mayersville, Miss., where she was mayor for 20 years.
