This book is a small part of what might be called the hid-
den story of the civil rights movement. Anyone who lived through
those sometimes glorious and often dangerous days, who read about the
movement in newspapers and saw it dramatically unfolding on nightly
TV newscasts, might reasonably wonder how much could still be hid-
den. This is particularly true now that journalists and scholars and film-
makers have spent ahnost twenty-five years exhaustively reexamining
the subject and occasionally throwing new light into previously obscure
corners.
Even the "hidden" life of Martin l,uther King, Jr., is no longer much
of a secret. So it would be wrong to suggest that the movement years still
contain many surprises of the sort that make big headlines. Yet head-
lines tell only a small part of this great story. Hardly less dramatic are
the experiences of the thousands of anonymous/blk who fought their
fight far from the glare of the camera and whose travail never got them
a single paragraph in a newspaper or so much as a thirty-second sound
bite on the "Huntley-Brinkley Report" or the "CBS Evening News."
We remember the riots and the marches and the big speeches and
all the political posturing. We constantly heard about the chaos in the
streets, but how much did we hear about the chaos in every community
and home where blacks and whites suddenly had to cope with a changed
social order thrust on them from above and were never certain exactly
what was expected of them?
