Rev. James D. McManus - The Civil
Rights Years:
The Movement in
Microcosm
While there are many nationally recognized heroes of the Civil Rights Movement, little is known of the unheralded rural and small town activists. The Rev. J.D. McManus was one such activist who struggled to make Civil Rights a reality in his corner of the nation. His amazing story is told in the new book by Paul Wahrhaftig and gives us new insights into the realities of organizing for and implementing civil rights in the rural and small town South.
