Overview
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.
