Poll power : the Voter Education Project and the movement for the ballot in the American South / by Faulkenbury, Evan,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 141-193) and index."Creating and sustaining a social movement costs money. In the early 1960s, after years of grassroots organizing, civil rights activists convinced non-profit foundations to donate in support of voter education and registration efforts. One result was the Voter Education Project (VEP), which formally began in 1962, showed far-reaching results almost immediately, and organized the groundwork that eventually led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Though local power had long existed in the hundreds of southern towns and cities that saw organized civil rights action, the VEP was vital to converting that power into political motion. Evan Faulkenbury offers a much-needed explanation of the crucial role philanthropy, outside funding, and tax policy can play in the lifecycle of social movements"--

John Lewis : a life / by Greenberg, David,1968-author.(CARDINAL)459589;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 643-666) and index.Part 1: Protest (1940-1968). The boy from Troy -- Nashville -- The sit-ins -- SNCC -- The freedom rides -- Open city -- The March on Washington -- One man, one vote -- Freedom Summer -- Africa -- Selma -- Revolt at Kingston Springs -- Lost in New York -- RFK -- Part 2: Politics (1969-2020). The Voter Education Project -- The first race -- ACTION -- Atlanta -- John vs. Julian -- On the Hill -- The Clinton years -- Ambitions -- In opposition -- "Because of you" -- Rock star -- Conscience of the Congress -- Lion in winter -- Invictus.Born into poverty in rural Alabama, Lewis would become second only to Martin Luther King, Jr. in his contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. He was a Freedom Rider who helped to integrate bus stations in the South, a leader of the Nashville sit-in movement, the youngest speaker at the 1963 March on Washington, and the chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which he made into one of the major civil rights organizations. He may be best remembered as the victim of a vicious beating by Alabama state troopers at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, where he nearly died. Greenberg's biography traces Lewis's life through the post-Civil Rights years, when he headed the Voter Education Project, which enrolled millions of African American voters across the South. The book reveals the little-known story of his political ascent first locally in Atlanta, and then as a member of Congress. Tapped to be a part of the Democratic leadership in Congress, he earned respect on both sides of the aisle for the sacrifices he had made on behalf of nonviolent integration in the South and came to be known as the "conscience of the Congress." Thoroughly researched and dramatically told, Greenberg's biography captures John Lewis's influential career through documents from dozens of archives, interviews with hundreds of people who knew Lewis, and long-lost footage of Lewis himself speaking to reporters from his hospital bed following his severe beating on "Bloody Sunday" in Selma. With new details about his personal and professional relationships, John Lewis: A Life is the definitive biography of a man whose heroism during the Civil Rights movement helped to bring America a new birth of freedom.--
