| Summary, etc.: | This in-depth history of the civil rights struggle in one state tells how ordinary people worked and protested and suffered to change the political system. The combination works well: the sometime complicated legal struggle of the 1960s is set side by side with personal testimony about what is was like to sit in, go to prison, register to vote and organize. [The author] gives us an important chapter in American history from the viewpoint of those who struggled. -Back cover. |
