Tobin Miller Shearer's Daily Demonstrators examines the complex relationship between Mennonite communities and the American Civil Rights Movement. The book focuses on the often-contradictory ways Mennonites, known for their pacifism and separatist traditions, engaged with racial issues, both within their churches and in broader society. Shearer highlights the significant roles played by African-American Mennonites, challenging conventional narratives that often marginalized their contributions. The study utilizes a range of sources, including church records, personal accounts, and photographs, to present a nuanced picture of Mennonite participation in the Civil Rights Movement.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Daily-Demonstrators-Mennonite-Sanctuaries-Anabaptist/dp/0801897009?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=ac0eda219401cc694db9aff2400a2ca2&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
