Glenda Alice Rabby is with the Florida Department of Education. She lives in Tallahassee.
"A gripping narrative of the civil rights struggle in Florida's
capital . . . The author's work mining the relevant archives and
court records is impressive. . . . In exploring the roots,
evolution, and outcomes of African American civil rights struggles
in Tallahassee, Rabby illuminates 'the promise of protest' while
remaining ever-mindful of 'the pain of what is yet undone."--"North
Carolina Historical Review"
"A highly readable book, rich in detail, conversational in tone,
informative."--"Florida Times Union"
"This will be a significant contribution to civil rights
historiography and will bring Florida's civil rights history into
the literature in a way that has not fully happened."--David J.
Garrow, author of "Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King, Jr., and
the Southern Christian Leadership Conference"
"Until Rabby, no one had chronicled the entire civil rights
movement in Tallahassee and validated . . . what it was: a crucial
part of American history."--"Tallahassee Democrat"
