ISBN:  9780807849231 Description:  402 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. [361]-378) and index. Summary:  "Radio Free Dixie is the story of Robert F. Williams - one of the most influential black activists of the generation that toppled Jim Crow, created a new black sense of self, and forever altered the arc of American history. In the late 1950s, as president of the Monroe, North Carolina, branch of the NAACP, Williams and his followers used machine guns, dynamite, and Molotov cocktails to confront Klan terrorists. Advocating "armed self-reliance" by black Southerners, Williams challenged not only white supremacists but also Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights establishment. Forced to flee during the 1960s to Cuba - where he broadcast "Radio Free Dixie," a program of black politics and music that could be heard as far away as Los Angeles and New York City - and then China, Williams remained a controversial figure for the rest of his life. Radio Free Dixie reveals that both the civil rights movement and the Black Power movement, often portrayed in clashing terms, grew out of the same soil, confronted the same predicaments, and reflected the same quest for African American freedom."--BOOK JACKET.
