Overview

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -Martin Luther King Jr. Irving Katuna (1929-2021; perhaps your grandfather or great-grandfather) was a teacher and civil rights activist passionate about helping blacks secure voting rights and other forms of equality. He helped make history by participating in groundbreaking protests in Selma, Alabama, in 1965, and in the process, created an intriguing personal story worth sharing about this challenging and eye-opening experience. Coincidentally born the same year as civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., Irv had many philosophies and beliefs in common with this charismatic visionary. As part of a group of Jewish rabbis, Irv went to Selma to heed King's call and participate in protest marches. He was put in jail, twice, after parading without a permit. Tasked with bringing King's message about nonviolence home and spreading it to his community there, he used his teaching skills and connections in the educational world to increase awareness about the importance of equal rights for all races and of honoring and respecting all people. This book is both a detailed record of this hero's unique achievements and a tribute to his passion for helping the black community.
