From the Back Cover

Part history and part meditation, Down To Now is a southern journalist's intensely personal account of the civil rights movement in the South during the 1960s. Pat Watters, first as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal and then as a writer for the Southern regional Council, followed the movement from the early days of sit-ins, marches, and freedom rides through the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Poor People's Campaign in the summer of 1968.
