Setting off toward Jackson, Mississippi, he hoped his march would promote Black voter registration and defy racism. The next day, he was shot by a mysterious white man and transferred to a hospital. What followed was one of the key dramas of the civil rights era ... Tracking rural demonstrators' courage and impassioned debates among movement leaders, [the author] reveals the complex legacy of an event that would both integrate African Americans into the political system and inspire an era of bolder protests against it"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 323.1196 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.1196 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList
