Summary:
"Visiting Martin Luther King, Jr. at the peak of the civil rights movement, the journalist William Worthy almost sat on a loaded pistol. "Just for self-defense," King assured him. One of King's advisors remembered the reverend's home as "an arsenal." Like King, many
nonviolent
activists embraced their constitutional right to self-protection-yet this crucial dimension of the civil rights struggle has been long ignored. In This
Nonviolent
Stuff
'll
Get
You
Killed
, civil rights scholar Charles E. Cobb, Jr. reveals how
nonviolent
activists and their allies kept the civil rights movement alive by bearing-and, when necessary, using-firearms. Whether patrolling their neighborhoods, garrisoning their homes, or firing back at attackers, these men and women were crucial to the movement's success, as were the weapons they carried. Drawing on his firsthand experiences in the Southern Freedom Movement and interviews with fellow participants, Cobb offers a controversial examination of the vital role guns have played in securing American liberties."--From publisher.
