This was the most lovingly packaged item I have ever recieved. The books were wrapped with such care that I felt like I was opening a gift from a close friend as I unwrapped it. Included in the package was a handwritten postcard wishing me well and two Detroit Tigers baseball cards (very thoughtful, as I live in Detroit) - totally unsolicited. It goes without saying that the books were in good condition, as described. Flappincat, I can say with confidence, is a very good person.10/10 recommend.

A Journalist's History of the US Civil Rights Workers
Lead by Rev. Dr James Lawson, a trainer in nonviolence, high school and college students of the US Civil Rights Movement (to be) gathered to learn from Lawson how to "take their freedom" (quoting accapella singers "Sweet Honey in the Rock"). Among these children were Congressional Rep. John Lewis; pediatrician Dr. Rodney Powell; former Mayor of Washington, DC, Marion Barry; Diane Nash, Gloria Johnson, and so many more courageous younger people who fired up the direct actions nonviolently. Halbertsam's (1998) account is astonishingly intimate as he reports how Diane Nash felt while seated in a classroom minutes before a sit in: with her palms sweating. The very private history of the heart and soul foot soldiers of what would become the Soulforcees--the followers of Rev. Dr. Martin ... Lead by Rev. Dr James Lawson, a trainer in nonviolence, high school and college students of the US Civil Rights Movement (to be) gathered to learn from Lawson how to "take their freedom" (quoting accapella singers "Sweet Honey in the Rock"). Among these children were Congressional Rep. John Lewis; pediatrician Dr. Rodney Powell; former Mayor of Washington, DC, Marion Barry; Diane Nash, Gloria Johnson, and so many more courageous younger people who fired up the direct actions nonviolently. Halbertsam's (1998) account is astonishingly intimate as he reports how Diane Nash felt while seated in a classroom minutes before a sit in: with her palms sweating. The very private history of the heart and soul foot soldiers of what would become the Soulforcees--the followers of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King--is revealed by a master of nonfiction journalistic writing. For 783 pages, David Halberstam is thorough and succinctly detailed. "The Children" of the US Civil Rights movement are immortalized through Halberstam's truthful stories or the most courageous young Americans. It is with great sadness that I write this review on the date of the author's death at the age of 73: April 24th, 2007. I, for one, will not grieve his loss, instead I will read all of his texts. (Please see my guide for 20 more of them).

I bought one and then Three more to give away.
Halberstam does a superb job of describing each of the children that grew up and came to Nashville, Tennessee to go to college, organize, and turn civil rights into reality. He describes the caracters from their roots through their struggles, and to life afterwards, including both strengths and weaknesses. He, having worked as a reporter for the Nashville Tennessean, was seated in the front row for the beginnings of restaurant sit-ins and later freedom rides and voter registration in the South.

A writer I am not, but a reader I am and this is a good read.Halberstam does a superb job of describing each of the children that grew up and came to Nashville, Tennessee to go to college, organize, and turn civil rights into reality.
