Reviews

Detailed in its treatment of a figure central to the heroic era of the civil rights movement and helpful as a resource for understanding the first generation of Black officials elected to office after the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Historians of the civil rights movement and, most especially, historians of Georgia broadly and Atlanta specifically will benefit from the first biography dedicated to Hosea Williams.-- "Journal of Southern History"
