Description

Explore the deep history of the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church through this detailed account by Roberson. This book examines the church as a central force in the Civil Rights movement, specifically its role as the backbone of the Montgomery bus boycott. This movement provided a model for grassroots demonstrations and helped bring Martin Luther King, Jr. into the national spotlight. By following five generations of the congregation, the text uses the church as a lens to study how it functioned as a social, cultural, and political institution. Readers will gain insight into how this organization operated within a racially fractured and shifting cultural and civil landscape from 1865 to 1977. This work is an essential resource for those interested in the history of social institutions and the evolution of civil rights leadership.
