      In October 1948 George McLaurin became the first African American to enroll at the University of Oklahoma. McLaurin's case drew national attention and culminated in a US Supreme Court decision. David Levy chronicles the historically significant - and at times poignant - story of McLaurin's two- year struggle to secure his rights.

    • The grocer, the teacher, the soldier, the Quaker... Mike Levy shines a light on the courageous deeds of twenty-two women and men who transformed the lives of the Kindertransport and other refugees. In 1938, when the government refused to act and those around them turned a blind eye, these heroic individuals took it upon themselves to orchestrate one of the greatest lifesaving missions the world has ever seen. Until now the compelling accounts of these extraordinary rescue missions have remained untold. Mike Levy is a researcher for the US Holocaust Memorial Museum (contractor) and the Association for Jewish Refugees, an educator with the Holocaust Education Trust and Chair of The Harwich Kindertransport Memorial and Learning Trust.
