Recensione

"Something much greater than the sum if its parts, a taut and vivid narrative on an epic scale--compelling--marvelously diverse.
— Los Angeles Times

"A vast choral pageant that recounts the momentous work of t he civil rights struggle."
— The New York Times Book Review

"Utterly fascinating. Voices of Freedom tells the greatest American story ever told. These voices are extraordinary. So is the book."
— Pat Conroy, author of The Prince of Tides

"Through the words of the victims, the villains, and the victorious, who together changed the course of America's sadly racist history. Voices of Freedom gives us the opportunity to glimpse the shining spirits of our heroic people, black and white, female and male, often through chuckles and often through tears."
—Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple
