Grace Towns Hamilton and the Politics of Southern Change

The book is full of good Atlanta history prior to the 60's., that really shows Ms Hamilton's importance. I regret the authors did not include more direct quotes from her. At the time the book was written, her health had not declined due to illness or age. Wish they had taped some interviews,and found a way to incorporate more of her reflections on the events. Book arrived in excellent condition,
