Acting as a maestro for an orchestra of gifted writers, Meacham succeeds at transporting the reader to the confused heart of American race relations, down to the core of the misunderstandings, the invitations to hate, and the violence" --Juan Williams, The Washington Monthly "A collection of first-rate writings by gifted authors on America's struggle for racial justice." --James Ralph, Chicago Tribune "The writing in this collection sparkles." --Robert Joiner, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The result isa literary anthology of important and artful interpretations ofthe movement's spirit and struggle. Maya Angelou takes us on a poignant journey back to her childhood in the Arkansas of the 1930s. On the front page of The New York Times , James Reston marks the movement's apex as he describes what it was like to watch Martin Luther King, Jr., deliver his heralded "I Have a Dream"speech in real time. Alice Walker takes up the movement's progress a decade later in her article "Choosing to Stay at Home- Ten Years After the March on Washington."And John Lewis chronicles the unimaginable courage of the ordinary African Americans who challenged the prevailing order, paid for it in blood and tears, and justly triumphed.
