"I believe this was my first 400+ page book. A great look into the life of MLK JR and the characters and stories involved in the early years of the Civil Rights Movement. I would say this book inspired me to read more about the real heroes of the movement...the women who did all the work and got little credit for it."
"Amazing Book! Sometimes I felt as though I was living in that time, especially in regards to the freedom ride times. The first few chapters are a little hard to get through but stick with it ,if I would have quit reading I would have missed one of the greatest books I've read."
"I participate with a group called "Coming to the Table" (www.comingtothetable.org) which brings together descendants of the enslaved and the enslavers in the spirit of Dr. King's dream that "the sons of former slaves and slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of Brotherhood."
I read Parting the Waters to understand more fully what it means to work in the spirit of Dr. King. I'll soon read the other two books in this series.
I learned more about the Civil Rights movement than I previously knew. What stands out for me is the courage of people like Dr. King, Medgar Evers, John Lewis, Fred Shuttlesworth, Rosa Parks, and so many others who risked their safety, and their lives, for freedom and justice. And to do so with a commitment to non-violence is truly amazing and inspiring. Anyone who is committed to truth, justice, mercy, and peace should read this powerful book."
"This is a wonderfully vivid and colofully written description of all the characters who played such important roles in the move to fight segregation in the South and achieve meaningful civil rights protection. It provides amazing insights on private citizens and governmental characters that casts interesting new lights on them,"
