From Library Journal

Little remembered today but for its awful climax, the 1968 Memphis sanitation strike was a powerful episode in the civil rights movement. An oral history project begun in the wake of the King assassination made possible this remarkable book, first published locally in 1985. It is a well-crafted, frequently eloquent narrative history of the strike. Now available with new photographs, it is highly recommended to general and scholarly readers alike; unfortunately the price may limit library purchase. This is the first volume released in a new series edited by David J. Garrow (Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference) : a projected 18-volume research collection of published and unpublished materials about King and civil rights.
