BY ANTHONY BING For more than 50 years, Joseph Abileah, a violinist from Haifa, has worked for reconciliation between Arabs & Jews. An ordinary manmade extraordinary by his unwavering commitment to nonviolent social change, he shows what is possible when antagonists in conflicts are not regarded as inhuman monsters but as potentially good people. This life of an Israeli pacifist is also a study of an alternative history of Israel, one that reflects the tensions between spiritual & political Zionism.

Journey Toward Freedom The Story Of Sojourner Truth
BY JACQUELINE BERNARD First published in 1967 and based on extensive primary research, this is an important book, as compassionately told as it is engrossing to read. Sojourner Truth was born a slave in 1797, gained her freedom some 30 years later, and at the age of 46 began a new life, traveling the country to preach about God and crusade against slavery. Known for her wit, her songs, and her great common sense, she electrified audiences as she championed women's rights, prison reform, and better working conditions.
Jane Addams Freedoms Innovator
BY DEBORAH PARKS Jane Adams was the daughter of a Quaker and a tireless campaigner and worker for the poor. This is a very nice biography, it is well written and well illustrated and I am surprised I had not seen it before in any Meeting House libraries. Also ideal for school projects.
