Writing is a necessary skill that allows people to communicate their ideas. For this reason, writing evokes change, and our words persist long after we are gone. We celebrate heroes of the past by the words they leave behind. Writing for Rights is a basic writing workbook ideal for undergraduate instruction. Lessons about writing are presented in a context of social justice to engage even reluctant writers through a sensibility for equity and community action. The workbook is a timely and relevant instructional document perfect for students at minority serving institutions like the nation’s 100 historically Black colleges and universities.
