Description
Summary:
King, a native of Vicksburg and a Methodist minister, was a founder of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and a key figure in the civil rights movement in the 1960s. As one of the few white Mississippians with a leadership position in the movement, his words and photographs offer a rare behind-the-scenes chronicle of events in the state during Freedom Summer. Historian Trent Watts furnishes a substantial introduction to the volume and offers background on the Freedom Summer campaign as well as an overview of King's civil rights activism from the late 1950s to the present day.
