Medgar & Myrlie

Their relationship is often overshadowed by their activism, but it seems central to their resilience. I wonder what motivated the author to highlight this aspect.

Balancing detailed history with personal stories can be tricky — I wonder what guided the choices about what to emphasize in this narrative.
