"Jon Meacham . . . has done about the best job of anthologizing the movement that I've ever seen." --Tom Wicker, Mother Jones "Compelling . . . Acting as a maestro for an orchestra of gifted writers, Meacham succeeds at transporting the reader to the confused heart of American race relations, down to the core of the misunderstandings, the invitations to hate, and the violence" --Juan Williams, The Washington Monthly "A collection of first-rate writings by gifted authors on America's struggle for racial justice." --James Ralph, Chicago Tribune "The writing in this collection sparkles." --Robert Joiner, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Compose amazing shots Explore new techniques Create perfect pictures Get the most from your camera, Anunprecedented portraitof the civil rights movement and the fight against white supremacy,told through voices that resonate with passion and strength-including Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, Alice Walker, Richard Wright, and John Lewis "Jon Meacham . . . has done about the best job of anthologizing the movement that I've ever seen."-Tom Wicker, Mother Jones Editor andPulitzer Prize-winning authorJon Meacham has chosen pieces by journalists, novelists, historians, and artists, bringing together a wide range of perspectives and experiences. The result isa literary anthology of important and artful interpretations ofthe movement's spirit and struggle. Maya Angelou takes us on a poignant journey back to her childhood in the Arkansas of the 1930s. On the front page of The New York Times , James Reston marks the movement's apex as he describes what it was like to watch Martin Luther King, Jr., deliver his heralded "I Have a Dream"speech in real time. Alice Walker takes up the movement's progress a decade later in her article "Choosing to Stay at Home- Ten Years After the March on Washington."And John Lewis chronicles the unimaginable courage of the ordinary African Americans who challenged the prevailing order, paid for it in blood and tears, and justly triumphed. Voices in Our Blood is a compelling look at the movement as it actually happened, from the days leading up to World War II to the anxieties and ambiguities of this new century. The story of race in America is a never-ending one, and Voices in Our Blood tells us how we got this far-and how far we still have to go to reach the Promised Land.

    Book listed as hardcover but received softcover. I am tired of lazy sellers who copy and paste descriptions, and misrepresent the books that they are selling and of course no returns are accepted. I wanted a hardcover and not a softcover so now I will have to donate this book and find another seller who is honestly selling what they say they are selling.
