PositiveBooklist... groundbreaking ... In painstaking detail, [McWhorter] reveals the hardships and horrors (including police dogs, water cannons, and bombings) faced by the Black Freedom Fighters, but she also plainly shows the conspiracy between the town’s establishment, the city’s public officials, and the vicious Klansmen who did the \'dirty\' work, in their furious resistance to segregation. Exhaustively researched yet still compellingly readable, [McWhorter’s] book is an excellent choice for libraries.
