Parting the Waters: America in the King Years, 1954-63Branch, Taylor
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"The present memoir, written with Annette Gordon-Reed, a professor at New York University Law School, by necessity is more than a success story. It is also a recollection of the pain suffered and the bravery asserted by so many black Americans--and more than a handful of white Americans--in the struggle for political and economic equality."
Roy Reed, New York Times Book Review, 11/04/2001
