Through the lives of Diane Nash; Stokely Carmichael; Bob Moses; Bob Zellner; Julian Bond; Marion Barry; John Lewis; and their contemporaries; The Shadows of Youth provides a carefully woven group biography of the activists who—under the banner of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee—challenged the way Americans think about civil rights; politics; and moral obligation in an unjust democracy. A wealth of original sources and oral interviews allows the historian Andrew B. Lewis to recover the sweeping narrative of the civil rights movement; from its origins in the youth culture of the 1950s to the near present.

To me I just didn't care for the wording and didn't have much care in the subject. I was hoping it would be somewhat interesting but sadly to me it wasn't.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Really enjoyed this!

Interesting commentaryBy Marcus HalseyAn interesting look at Coney Island and its implications on the culture of the early 1900s. A bit slow at times in the middle of the text but gave some great insights.
