Keep Singing: Two Mothers, Two Sons, and Their Fight Against Jesse Helms Book

KEEP SINGING is the inspiring story of Eloise Vaughn and Patsy Clarke, two
women who became the unlikeliest of activists and gave a new face to the
fight against bigotry and hatred. In 1995, after each lost a son to AIDS
and after failing to persuade the notoriously homophobic senator Jesse Helms
to soften his antigay stance, the two women formed MOTHERS AGAINST JESSE
in Congress to drive him from office.
Their journey would carry them from their quiet North Carolina homes to the
stage of the 1996 Democratic Convention in Chicago. Their battle would put
their names and faces in the pages of PEOPLE MAGAZINE and THE NEW YORK
TIMES. And their lives would be changed forever, driven now by the desire
that even in death their children would be given the simple human respect
that is due everyone.
