Civil Rights History + Sights = Moving and Educational BookBy DJSquaredI bought this book in preparation for a road trip I will be taking with my daughter this summer (2012) through the Deep South and on to the West Coast. What I find most useful about this book are 3 things: 1. In a way; its a short history course on the civil rights struggle from Maryland/DC through Mississippi. Though I considered myself relatively well-read on the subject; Prof. Cobb included multiple photos; stories; and quotations from events and people I had not heard of. Also; he does not shy away from speaking frankly about divisions within the Movement and the sometime failure of the national "conservative" Civil Rights Movement to back up local initiatives (such as in Cambridge; Maryland). This book could definitely be purchased just for the history; even if you dont plan to visit. The format is eye-catching; with large font and the use of text boxes to focus on certain people and places so it works as both a history and travel guide. 2. As a travel guide; it gives you more than enough places to visit; it includes addresses and names and of course the story behind the place. It is not always made clear if the place is worth a visit (beyond the historical significance) and contact information is not provided so Im using it as the starting point and then use Google StreetView; etc. to see if the place is open to the public; etc. Prof. Cobb acknowledges that the book isnt comprehensive; he picked those he felt were the most significant. In other words; it doesnt purport to cover every state where the Struggle occurred and some states are not represented (like Louisiana; Florida; Arkansas; etc.). 3. The last point Id bring up is that while I wouldnt begrudge Prof. Cobb if he wrote with some invective or lingering resentment; the book is very measured in tone. I would expect that many in his intended (or expected) audience would be African-American and thus he might feel comfortable in speaking "freely" about these issues. Still; he writes with equanimity (or is it magnanimity?) and I found it compels respect and emotion in the reader. This is a book that Im very glad to have on my bookshelf.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Still on the Road to FreedomBy charles dennisThis is the most important book for all to read for following the civil rights movement. I was impressed with all the information plus direction to cites. The road is long and much has been written; but more needs to tell the story of the struggles yet to come.Charles Dennis
