other civil rights leaders.

Right-To-Vote is documented in this compilation by Helen Edmond. It appears that

There is a wonderful compilation of quotes from major civil rights leaders about
Bevel included in the beginning of the book. The book starts off with excerpts from
various books that creates a story of how the right-to-vote was achieved due to the
initiation, development and work of James Bevel. The book includes writing from
Bevel on such things as precinct council development, government and nonviolence.


The original proposal written by Bevel is included in the book. In addition,
historical excerpts from famous and not so famous statesman are included at the top
of each page affirming the value of the right to vote. The book has a chapter on
what life was like before the Voting Rights Act, what the Voting Rights Act is and a
typical voter registration day for black people in Alabama before the voting rights
act.

The book includes information about often known characters who were instrumental in
the achievement of the right to vote like Amelia Boynton, Fannie Lou Hamer, Myles
Horton, Bernard LaFayette and Richard Boone. All in all this is a wonderful book
for use in voter education and participation.

published by Edmond Publication. Edmond Publication will be releasing a new book in
October of 2007, which will be the memoirs of one of James Bevel’s former wife.

contradictions.
