520 Using in-depth interviews with participants and residents,
Watson brilliantly captures the tottering legacy of Jim
Crow in Mississippi, while vividly portraying: the chaos
that brought such national figures as Martin Luther King
Jr. and Pete Seeger to the state, the courageous black
citizens and Northern volunteers who refused to be
intimidated in their struggle for justice, and the white
Mississippians who would kill to protect a dying way of
life.
