Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge a few of the important people in my life whose influence inspiration advice and questions have made this a better book Thanks first of all to Howard and Millie Turck my parents and to Chuck and Helen Henrie my uncle and aunt whose examples and words taught me early in life to value diversity and to work for justice Thanks to my husband Ron Salzberger and to my children Molly and Macy for their patience with the need to sometimes subordinate family schedules to the demands of deadlines Thanks to Cynthia Sherry and Lisa Rosenthal whose editing has made this a far better book Thanks also to my agent Jeanne Hanson who first suggested that I write this book and then shepherded the book proposal through the acceptance process Finally I wish to acknowledge my great debt to those people active in the Civil Rights Movement who made this book both possible and necessary and especially to the often unsung heroes and martyrs including Daisy Bates Septima Clark Ver non Dahmer Fannie Lou Hamer Jimmy Lee Jackson Barbara Johns Viola Liuzzo Chuck McDew Diane Nash Annell Ponder C T Vivian and many others far too numerous to list
