In Peace and Freedom: My Journey in Selma (Civil Rights and the Struggle for Black Equality in the Twentieth Century)

This text was touching and moved you in a way that is not only inspiring but equips you to take life lessons and apply them to your own work.

Excellent accounting of one brave young man's experiences in a Southern town known for being a place where no one had any hope of race relations ever being any better. Utilizing the philosophy and methodology of Nonviolence that he had learned as a student in Nashville, Tennessee, along with the "hands on" experiences he acquired while participating the in the Sit-ins and Freedom Rides, he led the citizens of Selma, Alabama in making drastic changes in the status quo. It is vital that what happened in Selma be documented and that young folks have this to use as a guide for effecting change where ever it is needed. This book provides that information and is a guide for future generations to follow.

So many hidden lessons and stories behind Lafayette’s organizing in one of the most notoriously unsafe cities in the south, Selma. His strength and heart will be a shining star in the histories movement.

WONDERFUL!!!!

In Peace and Freedom provides insights to the Civil Rights movement. Bernard LaFayette wrote this book to tell his story and has educated so many about the struggle through his written words. Grateful he wrote this book.
