Sinopsis

Thirty years after the civil rights movement transformed America, this books brings the landscape of this period of American history back to life. The author chronicles the varied places where the formative events of this movement took place. Both a history of the American civil rights struggle and a companion for those travelling to the American South, this guide takes readers to where Martin Luther King Jr grew up; along the path of the Freedom Riders; to Philadelphia in Mississippi, where three civil rights workers were murdered; to the route of the triumphant march from Selma to Montgomery and to many other sites. The account of these historic places also include the words of many people who lived through those times, and contain a description of monuments and museums commemorating the movement and its heroes. The book is based on more than 30,000 miles of field research and more than 100 interviews with veterans of the civil rights movement and features excerpts of speeches and other primary sources.
