Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., led the black drive for civil rights,
but the changes he sought came largely in legal opinions issued by
federal judges. Foremost of these was Frank Minis Johnson, Jr., of
Montgomery, Alabama, who presided over some of the most emotional
hearings and trials of the rights movement—hearings brimming with
dramatic and poignant testimony from the black people who cried out
for the freedoms that are the legacy of all Americans. Beginning
with Judge Johnson’s coming-of-age in the hill country of Winston
County, Alabama, this book covers many of his notable cases: the
Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Freedom Rides, school desegregation,
the Selma-to-Montgomery march, and the night-rider slaying of Viola
Liuzzo, as well as Johnson’s work for prisoners, women, and the
mentally ill. Much of the book is comprised of interviews and
direct quotes from Johnson himself, making this recounting of Judge
Johnson’s life dynamically autobiographical. Includes a new
introduction and afterword by the author, Frank Sikora.
