The effects of the civil right movement continue to rever­
berate throughout America today. Even tho too young to
remember have been touched by th truggle for racial equality.
Jam F rmer, author of LAy Bare The Heart: An Autobio­
grpphy of the Civil Rights Movement, w at the center of the
sfruggle. He i the founder of CORE (Congre of Racial Equal­
ity and' the sole urviving member of the movement's "Big
Four" (the other three being artin Luther King, Jr., Roy Wil­
kins and Whitney Young). Hi w one of the pre-eminent
voice of righ -consciou America during the sixtie .
LA Bare The Heart is Jame Fanner's unflinching account
of the evolution, and ultimate di integration, of the civil rights
movement. Fanner' de ire' to t the record straight, and
he spare no one - least of all himself - in recounting the in­
fighting and betrayals that led to the movement's demise. He
vividly describe the 't-ins, rallie and m rche , the boycotts,
the jail terms the death
thre ts and assassination
attempts - all the dangers
and rewards of being on
the "cutting edge" of the
battle for civil rights. in
ddition, Farmer's encoun­
ters with Jac and Bobby r
Kennedy, L.BJ., Malcolm
X and many other major
figures help clarify their
roles in the civil rights
story.
Inte oven with his ac­
count of the movement
i Fanner' personal ody -
y. Growing up in the
south and, later, race
relatio cretary for the
Fellow 'p of Reconcilia-
tion (FOR), Farmer en­
countered bigotry in all pects of American society - education,
housing, he church, the military. He dedicated hi life to the
elimination of racism and, in pired by Gandhi, employed the con­
cept of nonviolent direct action again t discrimination, which
became the idelogical b . of the rights movement. Farmer put
this concept into practice immediately after founding CORE,
with the fir t sit-in at an all- hite restaurant in 1942. Despite
tbac and conflict within th organization, he and others
arranged ucce ful prot ts 11 aero the country in the form of
sit-ins at lunch counter, tand-ins in cafeterai line ,ride-in in
non-Jlm-Cro coache on trains and in front at of buses, and
so on. There were arrests, bail-out , rearre ts nd often violent
reaction to the cau ; yet it continued to gather momentum.
Th 19605 w perhap the most dramatic form of peaceful
prote t - the "Freedom Rides" into the deep outh. Fanner,
a constant driving force, was there e ery tep of the ay. \
Lay Bare The Heart tands as a tribute to the thou and of
people, Blac and white who actively worked for racial equality
gain po erful oPPO ition during a turbulent period in ur
. ory. It' an unforgettable per nal account of the movement
that forever changed the face of America.
