This week we received finished copies of Hands on the Freedom Plow: Personal Accounts by Women in SNCC. The editors are participating on panels at the ASALH meeting this weekend in Raleigh, in advance of an October 5 event at Busboys & Poets’ 14th & V location in Washington D.C., coordinated by Teaching for Change.

And, events are scheduled across the United States including upcoming dates in Hattiesburg, MS, Boston MA, San Francisco, CA, New York, NY, Baltimore, MD, and Durham, NC.

If you can’t attend an event, please ask your local book retailer to stock Hands on the Freedom Plow. Discover why Julian Bond says, “Hats off to the Hands On sisters! Each story is a treasure, each woman a measure of the Civil Rights Movement’s strength. An overdue and indispensable contribution to the Movement’s historiography.”
