Bob Moses in 1964 by Danny Lyon, Magnum Photos |
The Children Bob Moses Led illuminates the way our private lives and public events actually intersect. It allows us to experience the history of that period, with all its complexities, from the inside out. In short, it offers the emotional truth of the civil rights movement. More important, William Heath's fine novel casts a brilliant arc of light between the past and the present. Thanks to his skills as a novelist and historian, we become the grown-up children Bob Moses led, better informed, better armed, and better able to march into the interracial America of the 1990s.
