Title: When Freedom Would Triumph
Description: "When Freedom Would Triumph: The Civil Rights Struggle in Congress, 1954?1968 recalls the most significant and inspiring legislative battle of the twentieth century?the two decades of struggle in the halls of Congress that resulted in civil rights for the descendants of American slaves. Robert Mann's comprehensive analysis shows how political leaders in Washington?Lyndon Johnson, Hubert Humphrey, John F. Kennedy, and others?transformed the ardent passion for freedom?the protests, marches, and creative nonviolence of the civil rights movement?into concrete progress for justice" -- publisher website (September 2007).
