A Memoir of Mentors
Marian Wright Edelman
Author of the #1 NYT Best Seller The Measure of Our Success

"From the earliest years of the campaign for civil rights to the most
recent struggles on behalf of children of all races, this memoir sums
up the sense of deep and personal discipleship that each and every one
of us depends on to keep alive a flame of hope. Lanterns is a radiant
and transcendent book, filled with moral lessons from the youth of a
courageous woman to the hearts of those who follow in her footsteps: a
gift of love from one heroic generation to the next"
-Jonathan Krool

The following content was provided by the publisher.

Throughout her life and work, Marian Wright Edelman has been at the
heart of this century's most dramatic civil rights and child advocacy
struggles. In this stirring, heartfelt memoir she pays tribute to the
extraordinary mentors who helped light her way including Martin Luther
King, Jr., Robert F. Kennedy, Fannie Lou Hamer, and William Slaone
Coffin. She celebrates the lives of her parents and the great Black
Women of Bennetsville, South Carolina- Miz Tee, Miz Lucy, Miz Kate-who
gave her love and guidance in her youth, as well as the many teachers
and figures who inspired her education at Spelman College and
empowered her early as an activist in the 1960's.

Illustrated with many of the author's personal photographs, "Lanterns
"also includes a "Parents' Pledge" and "Twenty-Five More Lessons for
Life" to guide, protect, and love our children every day so that they
will become, in Edelman's moving vision, the healing agents for
national transformation.
