Julian Bond's Time to Teach: A History of the Southern Civil Rights Movement by Julian Bond

canadajanes's review

5.0

A series of lectures turned into an incredibly readable book. Probably the best history of the civil rights movement that I've read. The infighting between the various organizations has real ties to today.

Although it's a pretty long and extensive book, there is a lot of history. The book consists of lecture notes during the time Mr. Bond was teaching. The book was a little difficult to get through because of the subject nature, but it gives a lot of information, some of it I knew, and some of it I had never heard of before reading this book. It should be on everyone's list when wanting to learn about Black history.

I received this book via Edelweiss, and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

The way we are taught the Civil Rights movement is almost like we only watch the checkmates in a chess tournament. Bond's college lectures introduce us to all the pieces and show us how, working together through battle after battle, each of the offensives ended the checkmate.
