Beyond the Burning Bus: The Civil Rights Revolution in a Southern Town (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Anniston, Alabama, is a small industrial city between Birmingham and Atlanta. In 1961, the city's potential for race-related violence was revealed when the Ku Klux Klan firebombed a Freedom Riders bus. In response to that incident a few black and white leaders in Anniston took a progressive view that desegregation was inevitable and that it was better to unite the community than to divide it. Retired minister Phil Noble recounts the decision to form the biracial Human Relations Council, which he chaired. Includes period photos.
