About This Item
New York: Arbor House, 1985. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. Quarter maroon cloth with grey paper boards, silver lettering to spine. [xi], 370 p.p. Light bumping to spine ends and corners at head, else fine. Dust jacket lightly bumped at extremities and chafed at covers, price clipped, darkened at edges of flaps. Text is bright and clean. The 1960s were a turbulent decade in America: the decade's most powerful drama was the civil rights movement. Here is the autobiographical history of that movement as seen through the eyes of James Farmer, founder of CORE and who, with Martin Luther King Jr., Roy Wilkins, and Whitney Young, formed the "Big Four" - the heart, voice, and mind of an awakening rights-conscious America.
