In the "hush harbors" of the slave quarters, African Americans first used funerals to bury their dead and to plan a path to freedom. Similarly, throughout the long - and often violent - struggle for racial equality in the twentieth century, funeral directors aided the cause by honoring the dead while supporting the living. To Serve the Living offers a fascinating history of how African American funeral directors have been integral to the fight for freedom. 001481596 538__ $$aMode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. 001481596 546__ $$aIn English. 001481596 5880_ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 30.
