Like an exquisite documentary film, Robert Hamburger seamlessly connects oral history interviews with narrative history to present the neglected story of the indigenous civil rights movement in Fayette County, Tennessee. The reissuing of this important book, first published in 1973, could not have come at a more appropriate time as this nation continues to struggle to complete the egalitarian work started by the brave people of Fayette County in the face of renewed political and economic obstacles.--Steven F. Lawson, emeritus professor of history, Rutgers University, and coauthor of Exploring American Histories
