520    "Mississippi. 1966. On a hot June afternoon an African-
       American man named James Meredith set out to walk through 
       his home state, intending to fight racism and fear with 
       his feet. A seemingly simple plan, but one teeming with 
       risk. Just one day later Meredith was shot and wounded in 
       a roadside ambush. Within twenty-four hours, Martin Luther
       King, Jr., Stokely Carmichael, and other civil rights 
       leaders had taken up Meredith's cause, determined to 
       overcome this violent act and complete Meredith's walk. 
       The stakes were high--there was no time for advance 
       planning and their route cut through dangerous territory. 
       No one knew if they would succeed. By many measures the 
       March Against Fear became one of the greatest protests of 
       the civil rights era. But it was also one of the last, and
       the campaign has been largely forgotten. Critically 
       acclaimed author Ann Bausum brings this crucial turning 
       point of civil rights history back to life, escorting you 
       along the dusty Mississippi roads where heroic marchers 
       endured violence, rage, and fear as they walked more than 
       200 miles in the name of equality and justice."--Provided 
       by publisher.
