--Clayborne Carson, Professor & Director, Martin Luther King Jr. Research and Education InstituteWith this unforgettable book, Ben Kamin again shows us why he is the singular narrator of the Memphis and civil rights saga. This is a story that has to be told, and only Kamin could have done it so patiently and faithfully.
