Seven Radical Elders

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the civil rights era, this narrative follows seven radicals who formed an interracial community in Chicago. Each individual brings a unique story, from a pastoral couple striving for communal life in a black ghetto to a socialite embracing simplicity, and a Stanford graduate joining black teens on a pivotal journey to hear MLK's iconic speech. Now in their later years, they reflect on their transformative journeys and the enduring work of racial reconciliation, ultimately inviting readers to embrace their true selves as they pursue a life of purpose and faith.
