This first of two volumes follows the rise of the modern civil rights movement from A. Philip Randolph’s defiant 1941 call for a protest march on Washington to the summer of 1963 & the eve of the march that finally shook the nation’s conscience. Ralph Ellison, Langston Hughes, Pauli Murray, & Bayard Rustin record the growing determination of African-Americans in the 1940s to oppose racial injustice; Murray Kempton & William Bradford Huie report on the lynching of Emmett Till; Ted Poston offers an inside look at the courage & resourcefulness of the Montgomery bus boycotters; Relman Morin in Little Rock & John Steinbeck in New Orleans witness the terrors of mob rage; David Halberstam & Louis Lomax describe the wildfire spread of the sit-in movement; James Baldwin investigates the Nation of Islam. Robert Penn Warren’s "Segregation", a Southern moderate's soul-searching interrogation of the traditions of his native region, is included in its entirety, as is Martin Luther King, Jr.'s classic defense of civil disobedience, "Letter from Birmingham Jail". Remarkable but little-known reporters from the African-American press, among them James Hicks of the Amsterdam News, George Collins of the Baltimore Afro-American, L. O. Swingler of the Atlanta Daily World, & Trezzvant Anderson of the Pittsburgh Courier, are reprinted here for the first time, along w/ astonishing eyewitness accounts of movement activism by Fannie Lou Hamer, Tom Hayden & Howard Zinn. Ea. vol. contains a detailed chronology of events, biographical profiles & photographs of the journalists, explanatory notes, & an index. * ABOUT The EDITORIAL ADVISORY BOARD: The EDITORIAL ADVISORY BOARD for Reporting Civil Rights includes Clayborne Carson, senior editor, The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr.; David J.
