Description
Why We Can't Wait
A powerful account of the civil rights movement in Birmingham during 1963, when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led a campaign that demonstrated the power of nonviolent direct action.
The resulting letter from his prison cell, "Letter from Birmingham Jail," was widely circulated and published, while this book tells the story of African American activism in vivid detail, underscoring why 1963 was such a crucial year for the civil rights movement.
