Free At Last
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
A truly painful story of the civil right movement. The stories of many so far, annonymous heroes and sheroes of the movement. The stories of the victims and their killers. Their amazingly unfair trials and finally the continuation of such in cases like in the four little girls killed in the Birmingham bombing of the 16th Baptist Church. Free At Last gives us a new view of the movement and of how its victims were not just "trouble makers" but innocent people that oppossed segregation non-violently. Also portraying the stories of the innocent ones that were tortured and killed simply for being black, or saying "Bye, baby" like 14-year-old Emmit Till.
