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.
