Book Synopsis
During the civil rights era, masses of people marched in the streets, boycotted stores, and registered to vote. Others challenged racism in ways more solitary but no less life changing. This work contains twenty-three stories that give a voice to the nameless, ordinary citizens without whom the movement would have failed.

Trade Review
I know of no other collection with the focus of this fine anthology. Readers who worked in the movement and who grew up during that era will find these stories especially fascinating. But Short Stories of the Civil Rights Movement is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the many perspectives on, and the myriad emotions behind, the historical events of one of the most transformative periods in American history. - Suzanne Jones, author of Race Mixing: Southern Fiction since the Sixties
