The Desegregated Heart: A Virginian's Stand In Time Of Transition - Paperback

by Sarah Patton Boyle (Author)

The Desegregated Heart: A Virginian's Stand In Time Of Transition is a non-fiction book written by Sarah Patton Boyle. The book is a memoir that chronicles the author's experience growing up in Virginia during a time of racial segregation and her eventual decision to stand up for desegregation. Boyle was born in 1906 and grew up in a wealthy, white family in Charlottesville, Virginia. She was raised with the belief that segregation was the natural order of things and that black people were inferior to white people. However, as she got older, Boyle began to question these beliefs and eventually became an advocate for desegregation.The book details Boyle's personal journey towards desegregation, including her experiences with racism and discrimination, her interactions with black people who were fighting for their rights, and the backlash she received from her own community for her stance. Boyle's story is set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement in the United States, and the book provides insight into the attitudes and beliefs of white people during this time. The Desegregated Heart is a powerful and honest account of one woman's struggle to overcome her own prejudices and fight for what she believed was right.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
