Product Description

The Times Literary Supplement

[A] fine work...to remind us of so many lives well lived.

Product Description

A guided history of the civil rights movement. Logging 30,000 miles of research and more than 100 hours of interviews with civil rights veterans, Townsend Davis has written both a history of the struggle and a travellers' guidebook to civil rights in the deep south. Ranging from Martin Luther King Jr's childhood neighbourhood to Philadelphia, Mississippi, where three civil rights workers were murdered, to Selma and Birmingham and scores of other sites, it is a commemorative guide to the Movement and its heroes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Any fan of Amistad should read this book, 15 Dec 1997
By A Customer
I say that because, at the end of Amistad, John Quincy Adams says something about how the Civil War would be the last battle of the American Revolution. But in fact, you could make the case that the civil rights movement was the conclusion of the Revolution. And this book really beautifully takes you back to the places and people of the Movement. It's still possible to visit many of the places, and many of the participants are still alive. But you don't hear as much about these people and places as you might expect, and this book captures them before they are lost to history. It would be a great book to buy to take the children on a tour of the civil rights movement.
