"As a white man, I do not think I have had a great understanding of the emotions and motivations of the blacks in the civil rights movements. I thought the book was insightful and helped me understand. I think Rev. Abernathy gently nudges the halo from the head of his close friend, Dr. King concerning his women and sources of his speeches."
"As a record of the events that together formed the Civil Rights Movement this book is very good. However Reverend Abernathy does not come off well. He seems extremely conceited and jealous of Martin Luther King's place in history. He makes it seem as if Dr. King would have been helpless without Abernathy there to whisper in his ear.
Still, the book is interesting and marks the points of change for Black Americans in the United States. It is tough to recommend and I will probably have to lay that blame in the hands of Reverend Abernathy's writing skills and his ego. However if you want to read about the Civil Rights Movement from the personal perspective of someone very close to the events that formed it this book is worth picking up."
