HTML:<b>As the fight for equal rights continues, <i>Defiant</i> takes a critical look at the strides and struggles of the past in this revelatory and moving memoir about a young Black man growing up in the South during the heart of the Civil Rights Movement. For fans of <i>It's Trevor Noah: Born a Crime, Stamped,</i> and <i>Brown Girl Dreaming.</i></b><br /> <br /> <b>"With his compelling memoir, Hudson will inspire young readers to</b><br /> <b>emulate his ideals and accomplishments.” <i>–Booklist,</i> Starred Review</b><br />  <br /> Born in 1946 in Mansfield, Louisiana, Wade Hudson came of age against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement. From their home on Mary Street, his close-knit family watched as the country grappled with desegregation, as the Klan targeted the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, and as systemic racism struck across the nation and in their hometown.<br /> <br /> Amidst it all, Wade was growing up. Getting into scuffles, playing baseball, immersing himself in his church community, and starting to write. Most important, Wade learned how to find his voice and use it. From his family, his community, and his college classmates, Wade learned the importance of fighting for change by confronting the laws and customs that marginalized and demeaned people.<br /> <br /> This powerful memoir reveals the struggles, joys, love, and ongoing resilience that it took to grow up Black in segregated America, and the lessons that carry over to our fight for a better future.
