Have No Fear

The Charles Evers Story

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

""Have No Fear reminds us what it meant to live under a system where segregation was important enough to kill for and where being treated with dignity and respect was a whites-only entitlement."" --The New York Times Book Review ""A gutsy, American patriot and treasure . . . an important slice of American history.""--Dan Rather ""Charles Evers has given us one of the most extraordinary memoirs about race in America that I know. This holy sinner of the civil rights era, who kept company with mobsters, bootleggers, call girls, Kings, Kennedys, and Rockefellers has produced, with Andrew Szanton, a salient one-man's history of Mississippi and the United States before and after Brown v. Board of Education. The fascinating interplay of racial nihilism and political sagacity is reminiscent of the early Malcolm X and the mature Frederick Douglass."" --David Levering Lewis ""Truly spellbinding . . . relives the fear, desperation, and confrontation that marked the civil rights struggle."" --The seattle times
