This picture book with striking oil and collage illustrations describes how Westley Wallace Law, a postman in Savannah, Georgia, dedicated his life to the civil rights cause and was a key figure in leading that city to be one of the first in the South to end racial discrimination. His life story, retold in simple language, offers an example of the quiet heroism of many ordinary citizens growing up in the era of segregration who became politicized by the injustices they saw around them and decided to take action.
