The Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Women Who Started It: The Memoir of Jo Ann Gibson Robinson

Rating:
Summary: Strength and Weakness
Review: Robinson's book is truly a memoir, and I find this to be both a strength and a weakness. It gives the book strength because it is a complete personal account. Every piece of information is direct from not only a first hand observer, but moreover a participant. However it weakens the book because at points too much information was detailed. Especially information about already well documented events.

Rating:
Summary: Interesting book.
Review: This is a great first-hand account of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It gives great insight on the emotions of the boycotters, and the determination that kept them going. The book is a little slow at times, but it's well worth it in the end. It really shows the intricate details that made the boycott successful.
