Now with a new afterword, the Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatic account of the civil rights era’s climactic battle in Birmingham as the movement, led by Martin Luther King, Jr., brought down the institutions of segregation. "The Year of Birmingham," 1963, was a cataclysmic turning point in America’s long civil rights struggle. Child demonstrators faced down police dogs and fire hoses in huge nonviolent marches against segregation. Ku Klux Klansmen retaliated by bombing the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, killing four young black girls. Diane McWhorter, daughter of a prominent Birmingham family, weaves together police and FBI records, archival documents, interviews with black activists and Klansmen, and personal memories into an extraordinary narrative of the personalities and events that brought about America’s second emancipation. In a new afterword—reporting last encounters with hero Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth and describing the current drastic anti-immigration laws in Alabama—the author demonstrates that Alabama remains a civil rights crucible.
BIOGRAPHY: ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT. Zayn Malik shocked the world in 2015 when he unexpectedly announced his departure from One Direction, one of the most successful British groups of all time. Despite his desire to step back from the spotlight, Zayn had no intention of stepping back from music, his one true passion. Indeed, he was determined to prove any doubters wrong. Able to forge his own musical path at last, Zayn unveiled hidden talents in his debut solo album Mind of Mine which showcased an eclectic range of influences, from R&B to reggae and even classical. When One Direction first formed on The X Factor in 2010, few could have predicted the record-breaking successes they would achieve, or the millions of adoring fans they would gain. Despite the controversy over his departure from the band, Zayn has continued this trend of unprecedented success in his solo career, with his first single 'Pillowtalk' reaching No.1 around the world.
You know, in life, we see things the way that we want to see them, perspective. There is no other way to live in my opinion. To know me is to know God, I am nothing without him. I am a gift unto this world, and will remain this way until he calls me home. We have options in life, choices, what are you going to do for your peace? Bipolar affected my life, I fought hard to get to where I am today. Looking back is always an option, however, evolution is the way, it is the key. I worked hard under a certain name practically my whole career. Life is about evolving, so I'm evolving into a different name. Some people might think that it is silly, I think that at some point in your life, you would want to step out of your reality of who you are and turn into something immaculate, something amazing, something great! especially if you are helping the people. Am I Super HERA? No, I could never be. All I can do, and all I can be is a realist, a woman with tact, character. A woman that is her own biggest threat. Yes, I have to deal with my own demons first before I can try to help others with theirs. What happened to me in life, well, nothing was funny about that, I just wanted to let the person know who hurt me. Yes, I have evolved, their is nothing anyone can say or do that can change that. The change has already happened, it is too late. See, turn around, smile for the picture. Listen, live your life like you want to live it. Do not just do what others want. Look at me, I lost my sanity behind it, now I'm back.
