Weary Feet, Rested Souls by Townsend Davis
Thirty years after the Civil Rights Movement transformed America, Weary Feet, Rested Souls brings the landscape of this compelling period of history back to life. Logging 30,000 miles of research and more than 100 hours of interviews with Civil Rights veterans, Townsend Davis has written both a history of the struggle and an indispensable traveler's guidebook to Civil Rights in the Deep South. Ranging from Martin Luther King, Jr.'s childhood neighborhood to Philadelphia, Mississippi, where three Civil Rights workers were murdered, to Selma and Birmingham and scores of other sites, Weary Feet, Rested Souls is a uniquely inspiring and deeply commemorative guide to the Movement and its heroes.
"No other book on the movement offers a better 'sense of place,' and Weary Feet will allow you to follow in the footsteps of movement marchers all the way from Arkansas to North CarolinaWeary Feet is a moving and accurate guide, and an invaluable contribution to civil rights history." -- David J. Garrow, author of Bearing the Cross
