When we think of the Civil Rights movement we reflect on the efforts of Martin Luther King, Jr. and all of the great challenges of the 1960s and 1970s. Professor Mary Ward takes us through a time before the movement where the foundation for social progress was being realized. A Mission for Justice is a detailed look at the struggles of the African American people by way of the Black church. I have had the privilege of taking classes with Professor Ward at Fordham University. She brought to her classes intensity and impressive knowledge about the African American experience and the Black Church. I believe you'll feel the same in her book.
