Houma Author Publishes New Book

"My Life in Louisiana", a new book by Hazel M. Boykin, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

"My Life in Louisiana" chronicles Hazel Boykin's own efforts throughout the Civil Rights Movement to create a better world for future generations of African Americans. Instead of enacting a passive stance in her hometown, Boykin organized a multitude of peaceful demonstrations and created organizations in support of equality, involving her own children in the fight. While she advocated publicly, she also overcame her personal hardships: raising her children, holding three jobs, and struggling as a widow. Her inspirational story serves as a testament to what we, as individuals, can accomplish with a passionate heart and a strong will to change the world.

"My Life in Louisiana" is a 56-page paperback with a retail price of $11.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4349-0878-0. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
