Beschreibung

This book chronicles the 1968 sanitation strike in Memphis that led to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Sanitation employee T.L. Jones was the catalyst behind the strike with a major objective of acquiring a union. After two sanitation workers were crushed to death, efforts for change mounted. The saga of this strike catapulted an entire city in turmoil that reached epic proportions. A segment of the book implements a meta-analysis from research by scholars. Also, the author incorporates a comparative analysis between the current Mayor and the former Mayor Henry Loeb. A final segment honors 20 Memphians that have significantly contributed to the success of the city. Among these includes famed photographer Ernest Withers, singer and actor Isaac Hayes, queen of soul Aretha Franklin and Dr. Benjamin L. Hooks, former president of the NAACP.
