Freedom's Daughters (Scribner; 460 pages; $30) weaves the stories of neglected figures like Pauli Murray, organizer of the first sit-ins in Washington during the 1940s, and Gloria Richardson, the firebrand of the struggle in Cambridge, Md., during the 1960s, into a seamless saga of inspiring protest.
