Grace Lee Boggs: Gardens of Hope - Hardcover
by Songju Ma Daemicke (Author), Lin (Illustrator)
Grace Lee Boggs brought gardens to inner cities and planted seeds of hope and activism in the minds of young people.
When Grace Lee Boggs was eight years old, her teacher gave her a copy of The Secret Garden. As a Chinese-American who had experienced prejudice, Grace wanted to grow a garden of her own that would help people heal from the injustice in society. Grace dedicated her life to fighting for civil, environmental, labor, and women's rights. In 1992, she and her husband founded Detroit Summer, a multicultural and intergenerational youth program that inspired kids to become leaders in their community. Together with these "solutionaries," Grace finally created the garden she dreamed about, one that continues to inspire people to make the world a better place for everyone.Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
