About this Item

Octavo with navy blue boards and gilt spine title; in light blue and dark red jacket; xii, 273 pages; illustrations; index; 22 cm. Uncommon. "After the passage of the Civil Rights Act, Martin Luther King's campaign for a Voting Rights Act and the march to Montgomery brought national attention to the segregated city of Selma, Alabama. Behind the violent confrontations and scrutiny by the media, Ralph Smeltzer, a minister on the national staff of the Church of the Brethren, worked unobtrusively to mediate and channel communiactions between the factions. Using interviews with main figures in the civil rights movement and white supremacists such as Sheriff Jim Clark, as well as Smeltzer's diary and comprehensive notes on daily meetings and phone calls, Stephen Longenecker provides a fresh perspective on the dramatic events at Selma." --Jacket copy. // African Americans Civil rights, African Americans Civil rights Alabama Selma, Alabama Selma, B?rgerrechtsbewegung, Noirs am?ricains Droits Alabama Selma, Race relations.
