Daily Demonstrators: The Civil Rights Movement in Mennonite Homes and Sanctuaries

Tobin Miller Shearer's Daily Demonstrators examines the complex relationship between Mennonite communities and the American Civil Rights Movement. The book focuses on the often-contradictory ways Mennonites, known for their pacifism and separatist traditions, engaged with racial issues, both within their churches and in broader society. Shearer highlights the significant roles played by African-American Mennonites, challenging conventional narratives that often marginalized their contributions. The study utilizes a range of sources, including church records, personal accounts, and photographs, to present a nuanced picture of Mennonite participation in the Civil Rights Movement.
