This book covers major aspects of the 20th Century Civil Rights Movement. It is not a standard text on the topic that is usually found because it uses sources directly associated with those whom led and marched on the campaigns. Often the men and women who knew were an integral part of the civil and human rights struggle are overlooked by those who write on the subject. This book makes a strong effort to reference the voices of those who knew Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on a personal and professional level. The same goes for Malcolm X; who was not part of the mainstream civil rights organizations yet an integral part of the era who cannot be dismissed.
