520    "This Bright Light of Ours combines a memoir with oral 
       history to create a very vivid portrait of the Freedom 
       Summer of 1965 in Wilcox County, Alabama, when volunteers 
       and long-standing local black leaders were shaking the 
       cultural norms, registering thousands of new voters. This 
       book documents the first-person experience of Maria Gitin,
       an idealistic 18-year-old college freshman from San 
       Francisco who felt called to action when she viewed 
       televised images of the brutal treatment of peaceful 
       demonstrators during what became known as Bloody Sunday in
       Selma, Alabama"--|cProvided by publisher.
