Publisher Description

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.
