Fighting the Devil in Dixie

Fighting the Devil in Dixie: How Civil Rights Activists Took on the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama - the most comprehensive, dramatic, nonfiction account of what happened after the U.S. Supreme Court found unconstitutional Montgomery's city ordinance requiring segregation of races on public transportation. “Wayne Greenhaw's Fighting the Devil in Dixie does more than take you behind the picket lines, along the dark country roads and under the white hoods of the civil rights struggle. It takes you inside its very skin, and inside the South's broken heart. Wayne did not just cover this era, he lived it, really lived it, in conscience, in soul as well as mind. I'm glad this book got made, and glad he did it." -- Rick Bragg,
