| Publisher Description: How did the vastly outnumbered black Southerners in the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s succeed against a white power structure that seemed uniformly hostile? Contrary to widespread belief, argues David Chappell, a crucial role was played by inside agitators--white southerners sympathetic to the cause of desegregation. |
