<b>Based on the real life story of a little-known figure in the Civil Rights Movement: a white social worker who left the comforts of her life in New York City to travel to the segregated South, comes <i>BEV, a fictionalized account of the strength, compassion, and dangers people faced in their fight to help African Americans achieve equality. <p/>After watching the horrifying images of dogs, hoses, and violence on March 7, 1965 a. k. a Bloody Sunday, Bev Luther, a white Northerner, determined she could no longer afford to remain a spectator. As a social worker, she knew she was needed to help and march alongside African Americans, Asians, and Latinos in the quest for equality. Along with several other Northerners--mostly whites--she decided to travel down to the tense segregated South right in the middle of an era that would change America forever. <p/> With a clear understanding of history and evocative language, <i>BEV is the fictionalized account of those who answered the call to help their fellow citizens earn the right to vote.
