Description

Portrait of a Decade; The Second American Revolution has an endorsement by Max Lerner: "The best historical account of the civil rights movement." An endorsement by Ralph McGill, Publisher of the Atlanta Constitution, states: "Anthony Lewis has done a superb portrait profile of the decade 1954-1965, interspersing his narrative with particularly apt excerpts from articles and news stories in The New York Times. It is all here, the warts, scars, and unhealed wounds; the grandeur and nobility of men and women who have worked to fulfill the meaning of the revolution...It is a balanced portrait of a magnificent revolutionary decade."
