Fighting the Good Fight
The Dexter Avenue King Memorial Church played an important role in the Civil Rights movement-it was the backbone of the Montgomery bus boycott, which served as a model for other grassroots demonstrations and which also propelled Martin Luther King, Jr. into the national spotlight.Roberson chronicles five generations in the life of this congregation. He uses it as a lens through which to explore how the church functioned as a formative social, cultural, and political institution within a racially fractured and continually shifting cultural and civil landscape. Roberson highlights some of the prominent figures associated with the church, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., as well as some of the less prominent figures--for example the many women whose organizational efforts sustained the church.

Dividing Lines
Presents the story of the civil rights movement from the
perspective of community-municipal history at the grassroots
level Thornton demonstrates that the movement had
powerful local sources in its three birth
cities—Montgomery, Birmingham, and Selma. There, the
arcane mechanisms of state and city governance and the missteps
of municipal politicians and civic leaders—independent of
emerging national trends in racial mores—led to the great
swell of energy for change that became the civil rights
movement.
