Mighty Justice<\/em> is one of those stories. The memoir’s author, Dovey Johnson Roundtree, courageously fought for justice all her life, up until her death in 2018. And though her accomplishments were monumental, her name remains largely unknown. Mighty Justice<\/a><\/em>, from Algonquin Books, brings her moving and important story to light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
