�No account of the civil rights struggles in Mississippi would be complete without recognition of the significant role played by Rev. Ed King. This homegrown, Millsaps-educated, Methodist minister was arguably the most unyielding and outspoken white man in the state in support of the efforts to end racial segregation and discrimination. His heroic work brought him social ostracism by the white community and, indeed, almost cost him his life. This book provides an extraordinary collection of photographs taken by Rev. King in the summer of 1964. The volume affords us an amazing insight into the experiences and reflections of a very brave man.��William F.
