Tales from the Troubled South: Civil Rights in Alabama Mrs Catherine Mcgrew Jaime

The Civil Rights fight has taken place in many states across the county, particularly in the South; but this little book looks at some of the key events that took place within the boundaries of Alabama... From the "Scottsboro Boys" to the Tuskegee Airmen, Freedom Riders, and the girls murdered at the Sixteen Street Baptist Church... From Rosa Parks to Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth and Governor George Washington... These are some of the people who helped shape the Civil Rights movement in and out of Alabama. Obviously a book this size cannot be an extensive look at these important people and important events, but the hope is to bring them to the forefront, so that readers are motivated to learn more.
