A work of oral history and memoir, chronicling the story of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and its living legacy embodied in Black Lives Matter. David Dennis Sr, a core architect of the movement, speaks out for the first time, swapping recollections both harrowing and joyful with David Jr, a journalist working on the front lines of change today.
What The Reviewers Say
This memoir of survival is critical to understanding the movement from the perspective of the people on the ground.
Timely in an era of renewed disenfranchisement and an instructive, important addition to the literature of civil rights..
... gripping.
