Civil review

Enjoyed the book. I thought some moments in time could have been interlinked a bit tighter, but overall, it was very insightful and educational. A must read for those who get snowed over by the "his story" books.

Annotation & From the Publisher (courtesy of Barnes & Noble)

ANNOTATION "'Social history at its best, portraying the events that led up to the sit-ins and the disappointments that came after.'"--New York Times Book Review FROM THE PUBLISHER "The 'sit-ins' at a Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro launched the passive resistance phase of the civil rights revolution. This book tells the story of what happened in Greensboro; it also tells the story in microcosm of America's effort to come to grips with our most abiding national dilemma--racism."
