Love is Loud: How Diane Nash Led the Civil Rights Movement

As a university student visiting the Tennessee State Fair in 1959, Diane Nash sees a restroom sign restricting use to “Colored Women.” The experience brings into focus how segregation shaped everyday life in the South, far beyond schools. Nash goes on to become an important leader in the nonviolent civil rights protests of the 1960s. This book traces the connection between her encounter with segregation and her later leadership in the movement for civil rights.
