About this Item

A first hand account of the brave, the foolhardy, the weak, the strong, the blind and the visionary who fought on both sides of the civil rights struggle. Inscribed on the half-title page "To Ed + Mary Lou Adams, Keep faith, Andrew Young". Note: I've verified the signature against others posted on line. Minimal wear. A very good or better copy.
