When civil rights leader Hosea Lorenzo Williams died in 2000, U.S.
Congressman John Lewis said of him, "Hosea Williams must be looked
upon as one of the founding fathers of the new America. Through his
actions, he helped liberate all of us." In this first comprehensive
biography of Williams, Rolundus Rice demonstrates the truth in
Lewis's words and argues that Williams's activism in the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) was of central importance to
the success of the larger civil rights movement. Rice traces
Williams's journey from a local activist in Georgia to a national
leader and one of Martin Luther King Jr.'s chief lieutenants. He
helped plan the Selma-to-Montgomery march and walked
shoulder-to-shoulder with Lewis across the Edmund Pettus Bridge on
"Bloody Sunday." While his hard-charging tactics were counter to
the diplomatic approach of other SCLC leaders, Rice argues that it
was this contrast in styles that made the organization successful.
Andrew Young Jr., former SCLC executive director, U.S. Congressman,
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and mayor of Atlanta,
provides a foreword.
