Popis
From journalist Paul Kix, the riveting story of the 1963 Birmingham Campaign--the ten weeks that shaped not only the course of the Civil Rights Movement but the future of America.
In May of 2020, as writer Paul Kix and his wife Sonya stared at the footage of George Floyd dying, they asked themselves a terrifying question. Could the same fate await their Black children? Their kids, who later saw the Floyd video, became fearful, and that fear, over the next few days, hardened into a cynicism about America. To try to allay it, Kix showed his children another notorious image from half a century earlier: A photograph taken in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. These two images nearly 60 years apart echoed each other. In what ways could the one from Birmingham--of a Black teenager, a policeman, and his lunging German Shepherd--instruct us in how to live today, when faced with footage
