In this powerful saga, Morris tells the complete story behind the ten years that transformed America, tracing the essential role of the black community organizations that was the real power behind the civil rights movement. Drawing on interviews with more than fifty key leaders, original documents, and other moving firsthand material, he brings to life the people behind the scenes who led the fight to end segregation, providing a critical new understanding of the dynamics of social change.\n\n“An important addition to our knowledge of the strategies of social change for all oppressed peoples.” —Reverend Jesse Jackson\n\n“A benchmark study…setting the historical record straight.” —The New York Times Book Review\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0029221307\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.0029221307.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Morris, Aldon D.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book  is in good condition and has some writing, underlining, and or highlighting inside.
