Weary Feet, Rested Souls: A Guided History of the Civil Rights Movement Paperback - 1999

by Townsend Davis


From the publisher

Thirty years after the Civil Rights Movement transformed America, Weary Feet, Rested Souls brings the landscape of this compelling period of history back to life. Logging 30,000 miles of research and more than 100 hours of interviews with Civil Rights veterans, Townsend Davis has written both a history of the struggle and an indispensable traveler's guidebook to Civil Rights in the Deep South. Ranging from Martin Luther King, Jr.'s childhood neighborhood to Philadelphia, Mississippi, where three Civil Rights workers were murdered, to Selma and Birmingham and scores of other sites, Weary Feet, Rested Souls is a uniquely inspiring and deeply commemorative guide to the Movement and its heroes.

First line

On a warm and muggy Thursday morning, March 25, 1965, thousands of civil rights marchers gathered on the outskirts of Montgomery to walk to the Alabama state Capitol.
