"A vivid and fast-paced history, Gary May's Bending toward justice offers a dramatic account of the birth and precarious life of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. It is an extraordinary story of the intimidation and murder of courageous activists who struggled to ensure that all Americans would be able to exercise their right to vote. May outlines the divisions within the Civil Rights Movement, descrivbes the relationship between President Johnson and Martin Luther King, Jr., and captures the congressional politics of the 1960s."--Back cover.
