Standing: One Man's Odyssey During the Turbulent '60s by M. Ernest McMillan (Eng

Description: Standing by M. Ernest McMillan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This memoir of one mans coming-of-age through the Civil Rights movement follows his childhood innocence of white supremacy during the 50s to his awakening as a full-time organizer in the deep south, and the petrifying costs he was bound to pay.Standing serves up an authentic memoir of a young Black boy growing up in a highly segregated environment: the heart of Dallas, Texas, during the era where segregation was the law of the land. Ernest McMillan came of age within an loving family and a nurturing community, virtually shielded from the outside--rampaging tides of white supremacy and a caste system squarely based on color. Dallas is often portrayed as a city in which the Civil Rights movement bypassed, but those claims are mythical in word and deed.McMillans emergence into manhood fighting for equal rights in the "Black Belt" South and his return to his birthplace to challenge the status quo of the white power structure brought him face to face with forces that were dead set on wiping him off the planet entirely, or imprisoning him in perpetuity. Author Biography M. Ernest McMillan is a veteran human rights activist with a history of working through the 60s in Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and throughout the 80s with the National Black United Front and the United League of Mississippi. McMillan served as the Chairman of the Dallas SNCC from 1967- 1969. He is deeply involved in the work of connecting arts with the community and developing avenues to foster and engage multigenerational, multicultural bridges for community uplift.
