Title: The Student Protest Movement, Winter 1960 [caption title]
Author: [African Americana]: Southern Regional Council
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Atlanta: Southern Regional Council, April 1, 1960. Very good.. [2],6,xxv leaves printed on rectos only, stapled, with "Special Report" wrapper. Minor wear, light soiling. The revised edition of a special report on the student protests and sit-ins that occurred in early 1960 in the American South. The report was issued on April 1, 1960 and covers the background, principal events, legal precedents, public reaction, patterns, spread, and more related to student protests that had just taken place in February and March. The work concludes with a seven-page "Chronological Listing of the Cities in which Demonstrations Have Occurred," beginning with the lunch counter sit-ins in Greensboro, North Carolina. The report opens by stating that the Greensboro protest sparked similar demonstrations in more than sixty-five Southern cities, and that "state and local law enforcement authorities showed an obvious intent to place the power of the state against the right of the Negroes to express dissent." One of the central issues, according to the text, is that the protest movement "is no longer between citizens, but has become a struggle between Negro citizens and state power." The Southern Regional Council was established in 1944 as a majority-white interracial organization. When the council decided to publicly condemn segregation in 1949, it cost the organization about half of its membership. Thereafter the SRC was generally supportive of efforts by African Americans and others to end legal segregation. The council also issued numerous reports on various conditions or efforts to improve conditions in the South. OCLC records ten copies of the present work.

Title: Bus Ride to Justice; Changing the System By The System. The Life and Works of Fred Gray
Author: [CIVIL RIGHTS] [LAW] GRAY, Fred
Seller: Lorne Bair Rare Books (United States)
Description: Montgomery, Alabama: Black Belt Press, 1995. First Edition. Octavo. 22cm. Publisher's gray cloth titled in black to spine. Dustjacket. [xvi]; 400pp. Light bumping to spine ends and some very light soiling in places, in a bright, clean dustjacket, internally clean, a near fine copy. Inscribed by the author to the half title: "To Walter Burch, Keep up the Work, Fred W. Gray 4/27/95" The Walter Burch in question is almost certainly the man who was originally part of the Greensboro PD and was a witness to (and professonal participantin) the manner in which the South treated those who defied the shackles and chains of "tradition" and in later life seems to have developed an intense interest and sympathy in the cause. Mr. Burch's LEO history is also possibly the reason for the unusual "keep up the work" inscription, rather than the more usual "good work" phrasing; Mr. Gray had more than earned the right to a healthy skepticism, but they both would have been men of advanced years at this point. Fred Gray was, among many other things connected to the African American struggle for Civil Rights, a lawyer who worked with MLK Jr., prosecuted on the Tuskegee Syphilis revelations on behalf of men who had been in the program, the desegregation of schools in Albama, the 1965 Selma March, and was the defense lawyer for Rosa Parks in her trial for breaking the segregated seating laws on Montgomery public transport. At just about every major flashpoint in the mid 20th century history of civil rights, Fred Gray was present, standing up, and being counted.
