Description: In Waking from the Dream, David L. Chappell provides a sweeping history of the fight to keep the civil rights movement alive in the decades following Martin Luther King's assassination.
Review Quotes: "In Waking from the Dream, Chappell chronicles how the remaining leaders of the civil rights revolution and their heirs have attempted to live up to [Martin Luther] King's legacy, and to navigate this second, more anodyne phase of the fight for racial equality. [...] Along the way, he notes, they've managed to score political wins smaller in scale than the victories of the King era, but no less important."--Jamelle Bouie "Bookforum"
