"Vivid testimony from an energetic activist."—Kirkus Reviews
"Millie Brown's love for her people made her a force to be reckoned with—and her knowledge was always unquestionably on point. Sharing her journey and insights will surely paint a picture of the American dream as only a free woman of color and a child of the '60s could."—Samuel L. Jackson, actor and activist
"Millicent Brown speaks from her own experience. Another Sojourner illuminates and elevates how Brown's work has led to a just future; explains the painful legacy of racism and marginalization; and compels many others, particularly girls and women, who are not always seen in public discourse as catalysts and leaders of social change to step up and step out."—Henrie Monteith Treadwell, public health expert, professor emerita, Morehouse School of Medicine, University of South Carolina desegregation pioneer
"Our fathers were both leaders in the civil rights movement, so her description of desegregation in the South is needed, real, timely, and poignant."—S. Charmaine McKissick-Melton, retired professor, mass communications, school desegregation pioneer, and daughter of CORE activist Floyd McKissick
"Part history, part coming-of-age story, Millicent E. Brown's intimate, enthralling memoir takes us from Charleston to Boston to Atlanta to hippie-era San Francisco and back again, as she celebrates the local stalwarts who made the civil rights movement and finds her own way of honoring her family's enduring legacy of service."—David Nicholson, author of The Garretts of Columbia: A Black South Carolina Family from Slavery to the Dawn of Integration
"Brown offers a vivid, personal, and oftentimes wrenching account of what the struggle for Black freedom, equality, and respect entailed for her and her family. Brown's memoir illustrates that she has earned her cred as an outspoken, thoughtful critic. We'd do well to listen (and read)."—Stephanie Hunt, Charleston Magazine
