Down to Now by Pat Watters
Part history and part meditation, Down to Now is a southern journalist's intensely personal account of the civil rights movement in the South during the 1960s. First published in 1971 and written mostly from the author's own recollections, tapes, and notes, the book blends detailed reportage of the dramatic events with insightful commentary.-

He Included Me
[Watters] pays elegiac tribute to the beautiful spirit which ‘held forth alternatives which the culture was incapable of accepting’ . . . He illuminates the duplicities of the white establishment, throws into sharp focus the pathologies of American life and attitudes and writes almost heartbreakingly of the opportunity for ‘salvation’ he feels his country has missed.
