Lanterns: A Memoir Of Mentors (with Authographed)

The Story

Edelman shares stories from her life at the center of many of the century's most dramatic civil rights struggles and pays tribute to the personal mentors who helped light her way: Fannie Lou Hamer; Robert Kennedy; Benjamin Mays; Martin Luther King Jr.; the wise and caring women of Bennettsville, SC; and life-long mentors such as Bertha Mae Carter, William Sloane Coffin, and Septima Clark. Edelman includes '25 More Lessons for Life,' an inspirational 'blueprint for living' (Ann Landers) and a reminder that we can all be a hero and mentor to a child.
