Riassunto

John Beecher (1904-1980) never had the public prominence of his famous ancestors, but he spent his life fighting for the voiceless and oppressed. Angela Smith examines Beecher's writing and activism and places them in the broader context of American culture at pivotal points in the twentieth century.
