| Zusammenfassung: | McWhorter's magisterial narrative tells the story of the civil rights movement in Birmingham, from the '50s through the '60s. In the tradition of such histories as Parting the Water and Walking in the Wind, Carry Me Home" documents the real story of integrating the South. It tells the story of the city called Bombingham, from the fifties through the sixties. It focuses on the black freedom fighters as well as those who resisted them--country-club elite, police, vigilantes. Meet the children who braved police dogs & fire department hoses, as well as the Ku Klux Klansmen who retaliated with dynamite. The book also breaks new ground with its startling revelations about the perpetrators of the Sunday-morning bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, which killed four black girls & still generates headlines nearly four decades later. In the tradition of such histories as Parting the Water & Walking in the Wind, Carry Me Home documents the real story of integrating the South It reveals the collusion between the city's establishment--the Big Mules--& its designated subordinates: public officials (including the infamous Bull Connor) & the Klansmen who did the dirty work. It describes the competition for primacy within the movement's black leadership, especially between Birmingham's flamboyant preacher-activist, Fred Shuttlesworth, & an already world-famous King, against the backdrop of a hesitant Kennedy administration & the corrupt Hoover FBI. Carry Me Home is a magisterial narrative that brings to life one of the most significant periods in American history. This is an invaluable contribution to the history of modern America. A major work of history, investigative journalism that breaks new ground, and personal memoir, Carry Me Home is a dramatic account of the civil rights era's climactic battle in Birmingham, as the movement led by Martin Luther King, Jr., brought down the institutions of segregation "The Year of Birmingham," 1963, was one of the most cataclysmic periods in America's long civil rights struggle. That spring, King's child demonstrators faced down Commissioner Bull Connor's police dogs and fire hoses in huge nonviolent marches for desegregation - |
