Item description from seller

432 pages. Endpaper map. The book features 25 original maps, 113 photographs, and excerpts of speeches and other unseen firsthand materials. Also includes a Chronology, Civil Rights Laws, Appendix: Map Index; Appendix: The Historical Sites; Endnotes; Selected Sources; and Index. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Inscription reads: Emily--Have a great journey. Thanks for keeping hope alive. Townsend. This is followed by the handwritten e-mail address of the author. The author was both a lawyer and an author. The author chronicles the churches, jails, courthouses, homes, barber shops, soda fountains, and even a bowling alley where the formative events of this inspiring movement took place. Arranged by location, Weary Feet, Rested Souls describes each place we will visit, including maps, Civil Rights history, photos and quotes. Provides a good preliminary review of the significance of each site, and a good tool for remembering the sites and telling others about them back home. 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. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
