The author tells the story of the civil rights movement from the perspective of community-municipal history. He demonstrates that the movement had powerful local sources in its three birth cities and how this led to the great swell of energy for change that became the civil rights movement.

With this bold offering from two decades of research, J. Mills Thornton III presents the story of the civil rights movement from the perspective of community-municipal history at the grassroots level. Thornton demonstrates that the movement had powerful local sources in its three birth cities - Montgomery, Birmingham, and Selma. There, the arcane mechanisms of state and city governance and the missteps of municipal politicians and civic leaders - independent of emerging national trends in racial mores - led to the great swell of energy for change that became the civil rights movement.
