My Soul Looks Back in Wonder: Voices of the Civil… by Juan Williams

This is an insightful, well-written chronology of the Civil Rights Movement. Looking at issues that sparked the movement, such as the blatant murder of Emmett Till, the injustice of not being allowed to sit at the lunch counter in a store that depends of the sales to black population to keep the business open, the freedom riders, some of who gave their lives, the walk from Selma Alabama to the Capitol to fight for the right to vote, and the March on Washington where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his powerful speech that sparked a nation.

We the People: The Modern-Day Figures Who Have… by Juan Williams

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

This book required a long time for me to complete it. I was determined to finish it, however. I learned a lot, not so much of the factual kind but from learning how a person of a different race would tell the story.I consider the time investment well-worth the effort. The American story is very complex and is shaded in many ways, not the least of which is race. I admit I did not find anything radical. Neither did I find any significant soft-peddling. This simply an honest attempt to relate history.… (more)

We the People: The Modern-Day Figures Who Have… by Juan Williams

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

An insightful book into what Juan Williams calls the "New Founding Fathers". An interesting read and take on various issues that have been around for quite some time. Not exactly a book I would have picked up in the wild but an enjoyable read regardless. Found myself only reading small snippets at a time before losing interest quickly. The time devoted to reading this book was however not wasted.
