This is one of the better books about the youth wing of the civil rights movement.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Fresh new history of Civil RightsBy Collegetown ReaderIf your knowledge of the Civ. Rights movement centers on Rev. King and his speeches; his version of civil disobedience; this book is a bit of a revelation. The younger; more secular wing of the movement; here embodied in the SNCC; represents an equally vital and compelling strand of modern US and Af-AM history. Author Lewis tells a rich tale of teenagers who turned themselves from consumers and spectators on the margins of the New South into revolutionary actors who; by simply insisting on their right to sit at the Woolworth's counter and eat a burger; ignited a whole game-changing set of protests and programs. A very involving story that narrates the events of the early 60s from the inside out; bringing you into the heady days of youth; and then; in the second half; bringing you out again to a more sober; mixed; but perhaps no less heroic legacy for the major players of SNCC: Julian Bond; Marion Barry; John Lewis; and others....Beautifully balanced between readable narrative and fresh historical interpretation. Anyone with an interest in how the events of the 60s have continued to shape our own era will find this book essential reading.
