Description:
A powerful book, The Children Bob Moses Led proves wonderfully reminiscent of that long-gone time when it really seemed as if blacks and whites would walk hand-in-hand and change America. Bob Moses, one of the heroes of the civil rights movement, lead a drive in the summer of 1964 in rural Mississippi to register blacks to vote. He appears as a major character in William Heath's novel, the story of the Mississippi Summer Project and of the growing awareness of Tom Morton, a white college student who volunteers to go south to help register voters. The novel opens with Morton working as a counselor at a summer tennis camp, where he learns that his girlfriend is leaving him to join the Peace Corps. At the end of the summer, Morton decides not to go to graduate school, but to join the movement. At that point the novel switches points of view to Moses, who, working in Atlanta for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, understands he must go to Mississippi to lead the drive.
