The Black people of Marks, Mississippi, and other rural southern towns were the backbone of the civil rights movement, yet their stories have rarely been celebrated. Part memoir, part oral history, and part historical study, this book tells the story of the struggle for equality and dignity through the words of these largely unknown men and women.
