The Deacons for Defense : armed resistance and the civil rights movement
Lance E. Hill (Author)
'The Deacons for Defense and Justice' were formed in 1964 in Louisiana to protect African Americans from vigilante and police harrassment. Lance Hill uncovers a neglected side of the civil rights movement - one led from among the working class and which stood apart from the nonviolence strategy of the mainstream.
