Daisy Bates: Civil Rights Crusader from Arkansas,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Daisy Bates: Civil Rights Crusader from Arkansas (Margaret Walker Alexander Series in African American Studies) (Hardcover)
As a student in Nashville, Tn, in 1957,I watched in awe, seeing the very good-looking woman Daisy Bates lead the LITTLE ROCK NINE against howling mobs who had to be held in check by Airborne Infantry. I wondered "What lies ahead."
Six years later I would draw upon {Their} examples of personal courage as I helped orchestrate Martin Luther King and personally lead the "Foot Soldiers" against the billy clubs,attack dogs, and fire-hoses during the furious civil rights campaign in Birmingham, Alabama. I bought the tandem selection Daisy Bates.../ Turn Away Thy Son... from Amazon. I read the first one "real good." I will not read the book with Liz Eckford's picture on the cover (Old men have to be careful about crying too much). The television media now teaches us that only preachers conducted the Civil Rights Movement in America. These books will help show that Daisy and some other women paved the way and showed the way.
