5.0 out of 5 stars
Exciting, uplifting description of the bus boycott,
By Tom Gregg(greggth@umdnj.edu) (East Orange, New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story (Paperback)
A classic true story. Details the story of the Montgomery bus boycott organized by King. Discusses the fact that Rosa Parks was not the first black woman to refuse to give up her seat to a white person. Details the logistics of the boycott and the violence and threats committed against King, sometimes dozens of threats per day. Discusses his reading of Gandhi and discusses King's worldview, including, of course, the nonviolent philosophy. You must know this story if you want to know about Martin Luther King Jr. or the history of race relations in the USA.

Stride Toward Freedom,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story (Paperback)
Stride Toward Freedom is an excellent book that should become a part of any school curriculum when learning about the Civil Rights Movement. Moving and deeply enlightening, the struggles and triumphs of a man so many of us see as super-human, makes this book one I would recommend to anyone. It is amazing to see how despite incredible odds, people still managed to emerge as remarkable leaders to be remembered for centuries to come.

Martin Luther King, Jr.,
By BAMM (CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story (Paperback)
This historically important account of the Montgomery bus boycott, penned by Martin Luther King, Jr., is, for reasons beyond my comprehension, out-of-print. Well-written and easy to read, it provides a first-hand account of the personal, social, and political events leading up to and following the bus boycott as well as rich insights into the man who moved a nation filled with fear and hate through the power of love. His account covers not only what he did, but also why and how he chose to do it. It's a book worth having and keeping.
