Here are the voices of leaders and followers, of ordinary people who became extraordinary in the face of turmoil and violence. From the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1956 to the death of Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1968, these are the people who fought the epic battle: Rosa Parks, Andrew Young, Ralph Abernathy, Hosea Williams, Fannie Lou Hamer, and others, both black and white, who participated in sit-ins, Freedom Rides, voter drives, and campaigns for school and university integration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere, too, are voices from the “Down-Home Resistance” that supported George Wallace, Bull Connor, and the “traditions” of the Old South—voices that conjure up the frightening terrain on which the battle was fought. \u003ci\u003eMy Soul Is Rested\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful document of social and political history, as well as a magnificent tribute to those who made history happen.Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eA Chronology of the Civil Rights Movement in the Deep South, 1955-68\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003ePrelude: James Farmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook One: I.
