The Agitator's Daughter
A Memoir of Four Generations of One Extraordinary African-American Family

At a time when more then half of African Americans lived in poverty, Sheryll Cashin's parents and grandparents were members of the black middle class elite. This is a four-generation memoir of the Cashin family, a politicized, distinguished black family who were political agitators and pioneers of social justice in Alabama.

In addition to death threats and actual attempts, including the sabotage of his four-seat airplane, there were lawsuits, civil and criminal, and eventually he landed in prison. At 77, Dad is still alive and kicking - bloodied but unbowed - fierce and arrogant in his opinions, hysterically funny and tireless in his causes. This book will convey with humour, passion, honesty and love Sheryll's life as she grew up and transcended being merely an agitator's daughter.
