Reacquaint yourself with the Civil Rights Movement....

This is a well written book which is a great read for someone who already has knowledge about the Civil Rights Movement. I selected this book in search of a text, perhaps supplementary, for a class that I teach. I realized a few pages into it that it would not be appropriate for a class or person without prior knowledge of the Movement. I did find that it reminded me of topics that are important to cover with my class. John Salmond has done a great job of hitting the "high points". At 163 pages, it was the perfect refresher course for this teacher! I recommend this book to anyone who has thought about, or lived during the Movement, and wants to be reminded of its impact and relavance. My Mind Set on Freedom is a great addition to libraries that pertain to U.S. History. It is a moving account: a real page turner.
