Carry Me Home

In "The Year of Birmingham," Pulitzer Prize-winning author Diane McWhorter recounts the pivotal events of 1963, a crucial moment in the Civil Rights Movement. Led by Martin Luther King, Jr., the movement's nonviolent protests against segregation faced fierce opposition, including tragic violence from the Ku Klux Klan. McWhorter combines police and FBI records, interviews, and personal reflections to create a compelling narrative that captures the struggles and triumphs that contributed to America's second emancipation.
