Civil rights

Amazon: 1968 by Michael Kaufman

1 recommendation

"Whenever someone says, "Been there. Done That." I always wonder what they really mean. And in the case of the late 1960s, my curiosity is as much emotional as it is intellectual. Fortunately, along comes this book, which gives us a glimpse into that incredibly formative year, when all of the revolutionary stars seemed to align for change - some of which we are only now beginning to understand."
