註釋David Burgess's commitment to social justice began in his youth and continued throughout his studies at Oberlin College. After college he helped coal miners to build homes and organized sharecroppers and migrant workers as part of the Southern Tenant Farmers Union. He was an active member of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) and headed up the CIO State Council in Georgia. He fought to improve the conditions of industrial and agricultural workers in India, served in the Foreign Service in India, with the Peace Corps in Indonesia, and in East Asia with UNICEF, and later fought for affirmative action and public housing as a Christian minister in Newark, New Jersey. Fighting for Social Justice is the memoir of a man committed to achieving social justice for the poor.
