The Dexter Avenue King Memorial Church played an important role in
the Civil Rights movement-it was the backbone of the Montgomery bus
boycott, which served as a model for other grassroots
demonstrations and which also propelled Martin Luther King, Jr.
into the national spotlight.
Roberson chronicles five generations in the life of this
congregation. He uses it as a lens through which to explore how the
church functioned as a formative social, cultural, and political
institution within a racially fractured and continually shifting
cultural and civil landscape. Roberson highlights some of the
prominent figures associated with the church, such as Martin Luther
King, Jr., as well as some of the less prominent figures--for
example the many women whose organizational efforts sustained the
church.
