Bending Toward Justice: The Birmingham Church Bombing that Changed the Course of Civil Rights

Hope. It took decades for the victims of the 1963 bombing at a Birmingham church to get justice. The junior senator from Alabama, Doug Jones, tells this story with vivid prose in his book titled, Bending Toward Justice: The Birmingham Church Bombing that Changed the Course of Civil Rights. Jones was involved in the case in a major way as a US Attorney in 2001 and 2002. Homegrown terrorism is not a recent phenomenon. Jones takes us into life in Alabama in the 1960s and after, and he leads us down the long road that ended with justice. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase Bending Toward Justice from amazon.com.
