This 2nd volume charts the movement's course from the historic 1963 March on Washington through the violence of the late 1960s to the complex reflections of the early 1970s. Karl Fleming & James D. Williams report on the murder of 4 young girls in the Birmingham church bombing; John Hersey & Alice Lake bear witness to Mississippi's "Freedom Summer"; Andrew Kopkind, Elizabeth Hardwick, & Renata Adler offer impressions of the Selma-to-Montgomery March; Robert Richardson, Jimmy Breslin, & Bob Clark capture the chaos of the Watts & Detroit riots. At the 1966 Meredith March, Paul Good observes the tension emerging between believers in non-violent resistance & advocates of the new Black Power. Gordon Parks responds to the assassination of Malcolm X; Joan Didion, Gilbert Moore, & Nora Sayre evoke the phenomenon of the Black Panthers. Earl Caldwell, the only reporter present, describes King's assassination, while Garry Wills & Pat Waters detail its traumatic aftermath. Willie Morris & Marshall Frady look at integration in the new South, while Tom Wolfe caustically explores new forms of racial confrontation & Richard Margolis depicts the emergence of a new consciousness among African-American college students. Like the first volume, this second volume contains a detailed chronology of events, biographical profiles & photographs of the journalists, explanatory notes, & an index. * ABOUT The EDITORIAL ADVISORY BOARD: The EDITORIAL ADVISORY BOARD for Reporting Civil Rights includes Clayborne Carson, senior editor, The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr.; David J.
