HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- Pat Watters and Reese Cleghorn were essential chroniclers of the Southern Civil Rights movement. As reporters for the 'Atlanta Journal' and editors of 'Southern Changes,' they provided an intellectual framework for understanding the transition from street protest to political power. 'Climbing Jacob's Ladder' is widely cited for its early, rigorous documentation of the Southern Regional Council's Voter Education Project. This copy serves as a physical record of the intersection between the journalists who recorded history and the activists who made it. The warm, personal nature of the inscriptions to Jack Price underscores the tight-knit community of social justice laborers in the 1960s South. For the researcher of the 'Movement,' such a copy provides a more intimate connection to the human networks that fueled the drive for the ballot.
