The Children Paperback - 1999
by David Halberstam
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "The Best and the Brightest, The Reckoning", and "The Fifties" now tells the story of the civil rights movement, as seen through the eyes of the young people--the "Children"--who became early revolutionaries in Nashville in the 1960s.
First line
THE EVENTS WHICH WERE JUST ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE FIRST IN Nashville and then throughout the Deep South had been set in motion some three years earlier in February 1957, when two talented young black ministers, both of them strongly affected by the teachings of Mohandas Gandhi, had met in Oberlin, Ohio.
From the jacket flap
A remarkable true story of heroism, courage, and faith
