The
Children
by David Halberstam
Like the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, the civil rights movement has
achieved mythical status in America--an epic tale of heroes and martyrs;
of sacrifice, honor, and courage in the face of overwhelming odds; of ideals
worth dying for in a time and place where death was an all-too-real possibility.
In The Children, prize-winning journalist and author David Halberstam goes
back in time to the beginnings of the civil rights movement in Nashville,
Tennessee, tracing both the lives of the individuals who initiated it and
the growth of the movement itself into its present-day status.
Every epic must have its hero, and The Children has James Lawson, a
young, African American divinity student whose tactics in civil disobedience
were learned at the knees of Mahatma Gandhi's followers during a three-year
stint as a missionary to India. When he returned to the States and was
accepted into the all-white Vanderbilt Divinity School, Lawson began teaching
workshops to Nashville's African American youth designed to equip them
for the equal-rights struggle, a battle Lawson believed could be won only
with nonviolent tactics. Halberstam chronicles the fight against racism
with the insight that comes from witnessing it first-hand. As a young journalist
for the Tennessean in Nashville, he covered the rise of the civil rights
movement, and in The Children he draws on many of his writings from the
era. From accounts of lunch-counter sit-ins to the freedom rides, Halberstam's
book covers the map of the crusade for racial equality, serving as a poignant
reminder that heroes come in all ages, colors, and characters. Amazon.com
