520    This work includes selections from the America in the King
       Years trilogy with new introductions by the author. The 
       essential moments of the Civil Rights Movement are set in 
       historical context by the Pulitzer Prize winning author of
       the America in the King Years trilogy which includes 
       Parting the Waters; Pillar of Fire; and At Canaan's Edge. 
       This volume brings to life eighteen pivotal dramas, 
       beginning with the impromptu speech that turned an 
       untested, twenty six year old Martin Luther King forever 
       into a public figure on the first night of the 1955 
       Montgomery Bus Boycott. Five years later, minority 
       students filled the jails in a 1960 sit-in movement, and, 
       in 1961, the Freedom Riders seized national attention. The
       author interprets King's famous speech at the 1963 March 
       on Washington and the Birmingham church bombing that 
       challenged his dream. We see student leader Bob Moses 
       mobilize college volunteers for Mississippi's 1964 Freedom
       Summer, and a decade long movement for equal rights. In 
       the chapter "King, J. Edgar Hoover, and the Nobel Peace 
       Prize" the author details the covert use of state power 
       for a personal vendetta. The chapter "Crossroads in Selma"
       describes King's ordeal to steer the citizen's movement 
       through hopes and threats. The chapter "Crossroads in 
       Vietnam" glimpses the ominous wartime split between King 
       and President Lyndon Johnson. As the Black Power slogan of
       Stokely Carmichael captivated a world grown weary of 
       nonviolent protest, King grew ever more isolated. King 
       "pushed downward into lonelier causes until he wound up 
       among the sanitation workers of Memphis." A requiem 
       chapter leads to his assassination. 
520    A chronicle of key events in the civil rights movement 
       traces how it evolved from a bus strike to a political and
       social revolution.
