Note:"In the nineten fifties and early sixties, Birmingham, Alabama, became known as Bombingham. At the center of this violent time in the fight for civil rights, and standing at opposite ends, were Reverend Fred L. Shuttlesworth and Eugene "Bull" Connor. From his pulpit, Shuttlesworth agitated for racial equality, while Commissioner Connor fought for the status quo. Relying on court documents, police and FBI reports, newspapers, interviews and photographs, author Larry Dane Brimner first covers each mans' life and then brings them together to show how their confrontation brought about significant change to the southern city" ---Publisher
