Rather than tracking the freedom struggle from the usually cited ignition points, this book begins with a massive voting rights rally in the town of Mound Bayou in 1955. It's the first rally since the Supreme Court's Brown decision struck fear in the hearts of segregationists. It was also Simeon Booker's first assignment in the Deep South.
