Gaines Narrator: James Fouhey Format: mp3 Length: 8 hrs and 11 mins Release date: 02-08-22 Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars, 13 ratings Genres: Activists Publisher's Summary: An “enchanting, beautifully written book about heroes and the dark times to which they refused to surrender” (Todd Gitlin, bestselling author of The Sixties). In a series of character portraits, The Fifties invokes the accidental radicals—people motivated not by politics but by their own most intimate conflicts—who sparked movements for change in their time and our own. Among many others, we meet legal pathfinder Pauli Murray, who was tortured by both her mixed-race heritage and her “in between” sexuality.
