The Way it Really Was
By A Customer - February 27, 2002It seems the anatomy of revolutions is that they metamorphose and become tarnished, and the civil rights movement of the 60s (the Revolution, Baby! as we called it then) was no exception. With history, they become glamorized and give rise to fantasized, self-appointed heroes and revisionism. This book is TRUTH without TARNISH, and sets straight the record devised by many during the past three decades of revisionism. From one who was really there, in Philadelphia Mississippi in early 60's, in again in 64-66, and during FBI investigations, I want to say: FINALLY, someone is telling it like it really was, without revisionism, without glorification of the johnnies who came lately, and without interest in creating a politically correct and marketable commodity. I knew many of the players Ms. Olsen seeks out and interviews, and I take great pride in hearing their story in the unadultuated truth. I also feel such gratification in learning how many of them went on, led lives,... read more
Intense and honest
By henry - August 10, 2001This book fills a huge hole in civil rights history literature. Anyone involved in that struggle and other similiar type movements know the huge amount of grunt work that goes into a simple picket line. This work that the men scorned was the backbone of the movement and continues to this day. It shines a light on influential women in civil rights and goes into a their history and struggles. Many of these women have been mentioned in other books but that is all that is done - barely mentioned. In addition, Ms. Olson explores in an extremely honest way the relations between white women and black women and black men. These pages were some of the best writing I ever read on this topic.
An Overdue Praise of Black Female Freedom Fighters
By L. J. Allen - May 7, 2001This text offers a somewhat rare look at Black women that have valiantly struggled for African American Civil and Human Rights throughout our history in America. I was, however, taken aback when I read the editorial review by Wendy Smith who erroneously cited anti-lynching activist and journalist IDA B. WELLS as "Ida Mae Wells"; when such an error is made by a reviewer, you realize just how underexamined the women in this book are. This nearly comprehensive offering is long overdue. This is history that reads like a novel.
