Summary:
Mississippi. 1966. On a hot June afternoon an African-American man named James Meredith set out to
walk
through his home state, intending to fight racism and fear with his feet. A seemingly simple plan, but one teeming with risk. Just one day later Meredith was shot and wounded in a roadside ambush. Within twenty-four hours, Martin Luther King, Jr., Stokely Carmichael, and other
civil
rights
leaders had taken up Meredith's cause, determined to overcome this violent act and complete Meredith's
walk
. The stakes were high--there was no time for advance planning and their route cut through dangerous territory. No one knew if they would succeed. By many measures the March Against Fear became one of the greatest protests of the
civil
rights
era. But it was also one of the
last
, and the campaign has been largely forgotten. Critically acclaimed author Ann Bausum brings this crucial turning point of
civil
rights
history back to life, escorting you along the dusty Mississippi roads where heroic marchers endured violence, rage, and fear as they walked more than 200 miles in the name of equality and justice.
