Summary

This book is composed of the testimonies of thirty Southern whites who participated in the Civil Rights Movement juxtaposed against white America's intense hatred of any change in the racial status quo. These few whites, because of their commitment to human rights, were threatened, ostracized, beaten, arrested, and jailed. Their personal stories emphasize the agonies, fears, rejection, and hurt of those few whites who took their stand alongside their black brothers and sisters. But the other side of their story is the price they paid for the accomplishments of the movement.
