February 16: The Gentle Giant of Dynamite Hill by Helen Shores Lee and Barbara S. Shores

From the perspective of his daughters, The Gentle Giant of Dynamite Hill: The Untold Story of Arthur Shores and His Family's Fight for Civil Rights chronicles the life of the civil rights attorney Arthur Shores who, with his family, came under attack by the KKK in the 1960s for representing desegregation cases, the NAACP and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Written by Helen Shores Lee and Barbara Sylvia Shores with Denise George, the firsthand accounts of sisters Helen and Barbara growing up with their father during the 1960s in the south Birmingham district tell an incredible story of a family's unfair suffering, but also of their sacrificial commitment, courage, determination and triumph.
