Black and Pro Life in America The Incarceration and Exoneration of Walter B. Hoye II

In 2009, ordained Baptist minister Walter B. Hoye II was jailed for peacefully protesting outside an abortion clinic, refusing a plea deal that would silence his constitutional right to free speech. This book chronicles his thirty days in prison, where he ministered to fellow inmates, and the legal battle that ultimately led to his exoneration and the overturning of an unconstitutional city law. It also explores the political maneuvering behind the 'bubble law' and Hoye's personal journey, rooted in his heritage as a descendant of slaves and his admiration for Martin Luther King Jr.
