Civil Rights and Wrongs A Memoir of Race and Politics, 1944-1996

"Civil Rights and Wrongs is a powerful memoir about the world of white moderates, but, as its assessment of the Freedom Democrats' struggle suggests, it fails to tell the black side of the story with the same complexity and nuance it gives to the white. Mr. Ashmore shares a widewpread view that black history has operated like a pendulum--swinging back and forth between accommodation and protest, integration and separatism, nonviolence and violence. Arguably, however, these forces have more often existed side by side, balancing and shaping each other."Ashmore, Harry S. is the author of 'Civil Rights and Wrongs A Memoir of Race and Politics, 1944-1996' with ISBN 9781570031878 and ISBN 1570031878.
