Kritik
"Kimberley Mangun's historical account of Emory O. Jackson and the Birmingham World is an important addition to the growing scholarly research about the black press during the civil rights strife in the South. It took tremendous courage for southern black editors such as Jackson and their newspapers to keep up a steady drumbeat for equality for blacks and for an end to the continual violence directed at them. Anchored in an impressive array of primary documents and told with the deft touch of a good storyteller, this book will give readers a deepening, and perhaps surprising, appreciation of the importance of the black press in a turbulent time in this country. Quite simply, it is a valuable piece of research." -Patrick S. Washburn, Professor Emeritus, E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, Ohio University; Author of The African American Newspaper: Voice of Freedommehr
