The Struggle of Struggles

Vera Pigee

From 1955 to 1975, Vera Pigee (1924–2007) put her life and livelihood on the line with grassroots efforts for social change in Mississippi, principally through her years of leadership in Coahoma County's NAACP. Known as the "Lady of Hats," coined by NAACP executive secretary Roy Wilkins, Pigee was a businesswoman, mother, and leader. Her book, The Struggle of Struggles, offers a detailed view of the daily grind of organizing for years to open the state's closed society. Fearless, forthright, and fashionable, Pigee also suffered for her efforts at the hands of white supremacists and those unwilling to accept strong women in leadership. She wrote herself into the histories, confronted misinformation, and self-published one of the first autobiographies from the era. Women like her worked, often without accolade or recognition, in their communities all over the country, but did not document their efforts in this way. 
 
 
 
The Struggle of Struggles, originally published in 1975, spotlights the gendered and generational tensions within the civil rights movement. It outlines the complexity, frustrations, and snubs, as well as the joy and triumphs that Pigee experienced and witnessed in the quest for a fairer and more equitable nation.

Bricks that Build Us BOOK 3 -...

Rob Howat

Family, Education, Beliefs and Law. 
We live in a time of increasing conflict due to ignorance, misinformation and polarization. We must change this. How balanced order was and still can be achieved is described in this set of four books.  
Heads filled with too many imagined injustices ignore realities generally experienced by the dispossessed and powerless, caused by "The Fortunate". A rebalancing is long overdue. But how? This starts and finishes through the actions of caring and well-informed individuals locally first, in areas of personal opportunity and influence, ever growing step by step. It is time to take command of enabling powers constructively, observing, sheltering, feeding and educating: positive change supercharged and empowered through action.  
The best time to start change is NOW
