Revolutions Are Made of Love: The Story of James Boggs and Grace Lee Boggs

This picture-book biography follows James Boggs and Grace Lee Boggs, a Black and Chinese American married couple whose partnership centered on decades of activism. James, raised in rural Alabama, and Grace, a philosopher associated with Rhode Island and New York City, found each other and their life’s work in Detroit. Their efforts connected civil rights, labor, housing, jobs, food, unions, and urban gardens. Paired free-verse poems and mixed-media illustrations present their lives and ideas across fifty years.
