Trade Review
This is an important and moving story. Clark tells its well, respecting his historical actors by treating them critically but fairly, and respecting his readers by allowing them to draw their own conclusions. - American Historical Review ""E. Culpepper Clark tells a powerful story, balancing the need for continuity of theme with dozens of anecdotal illustrations of the main points, which are always blended gracefully and strategically into the narrative. The writing is accessible, engaging, and more than occasionally eloquent."" - History of Education Quarterly ""Culpepper's account of how Alabama came to occupy a special place in the demise of both segregation and states' rights deserves a close reading."" - Library Journal
