Requests:  0 Summary:  Less than three weeks before the 1960 presidential election, Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested at a sit-in in Atlanta. An earlier, minor traffic ticket served as a pretext for keeping King locked up, and he was transferred to Reidsville, the notorious Georgia state prison where Black inmates worked on chain gangs overseen by violent white guards. An emerging and controversial civil rights leader was languishing behind bars, and the campaigns of John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon raced to decide whether, and how, to respond. The Kendricks show how these events changed the course of one of the closest elections in American history. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 323.0973 Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.0973 Kendrick Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.0973 Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.0973 Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList
