Produktbeschreibung

In January 1955, Montgomery, Alabama was best known as the Cradle of the Confederacy. The city's image changed forever starting in December 1955 because of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Crusader Without Violence: A Biography of Martin Luther King, Jr. by L.D. Reddick tells how a man and a movement became the tip of the spear that mortally wounded Jim Crow. The MIA (Montgomery Improvement Association) Newsletter for April 30, 1959, correctly announced Crusader Without Violence as the "social history of our time."
