As I was researching non fictions books when I came across Doreen Rapaport. She is a author who has written several history non fictions books. When I was reading her website I the reason why she feels so passionately about writing these books. "In 1965, I went to Mc Comb, Mississippi, to teach at a freedom school. The experience changed my life. I met "extraordinary ordinary"people — black Americans who had been deprived of rights that I took for granted, and who were threatened with death every day. Their courage inspired me. They were heroic. I knew there had to be many more "unknown heroes," people who helped change history. I set out to recover and write about this "lost" history. That was more than seventeen years ago."
