While Martin Luther King Jr., Medgar Evers, and Malcolm X led the struggle for civil rights at a national level, Alberta Henry campaigned tirelessly for equality at a local level. Colleen Whitley provides an exceptional first-person account of an African American woman leader and her role in the Civil Rights Movement in Utah.

"Feed My Sheep: The Life of Alberta Henry is a slender book that illuminates the life of an important Utah civil rights activist. The combination of oral history and more traditional biographical-style narrative offers a complex depiction of a strong black woman coming of age during WWII and then moving to Utah to improve her health and find her way in the world. An important, exciting, and necessary story" --Leslie G. Kelen, executive director of the Center for Documentary Expression and Art and coauthor of Missing Stories: An Oral History of Ethnic and Minority Groups in Utah.
