Sister Bessie Hazel Book/Fundraiser
We are proud to present this treat of a book to our members, supporters, and curious onlookers. Bessie Hazel is a living monument of womanhood. She is a first class ''First Lady'' of the struggle. Hers is a story worth knowing, treasuring, preserving and keeping. She is an interesting lady, and she manages to share some interesting moments of her life in this interview. We guarantee that you will enjoy this book as sister Bessie expresses a sharp wit and fine-tuned discourse only so characteristic of the woman known affectionately to friends, family and colleagues as simply, ''Mother.''
In this ''Age of Obama'' we hear much talk about keeping the faith. Well, Bessie Hazel kept the faith in a time when it meant more than walking to the polls; but rather walking head on into poles---and clubs swung head-level by both law enforcement bullies and hostile citizens; it meant healing flesh wounds from four legged as well as two legged beasts, and then facing the same animals the next day; and often it meant staging a peaceful demonstration against anything but peaceful odds. Were it not for the courage and righteous convictions of the Bessie Hazels of yesterday, we perhaps would not have Obama today. We really can't say enough about this book; so we want you to get it and start saying something about it.
