Nobody Turn Me Around, Charles Euchner, August 2010, cloth, $26.95, 978-0-8070-0059-5
“Nobody Turn Me Around brings important new insight to the story of the 1963 March on Washington. We see the Harlem Unity Rally; Malcolm X's bitter answer to the historic events in D.C.; the escalating violence in the South and the movement's expansion to northern cities; and the genius of Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin's organizing strategies. The book also settles the question of how Martin Luther King, Jr. came to utter his iconic words about the dream--and shows how King used the speech to arouse his followers and neutralize the extremes of white racism and black separatism. Vivid storytelling at its best.”
—Alex Heard, author of The Eyes of Willie McGee: A Tragedy of Race, Sex, and Secrets in the Jim Crow South
