This is a really great book on the Civil Rights Movement, and should appeal to a variety of interests. It's a great memoir from a white member of the movement who was widely accepted by people of all skin colors. Thus, if one is a young activist of a majority status looking to be a part of a minority movement, Zellner practically gives a how-to manual. That said, it is also a really unique look at the movement itself. Zellner was obviously about as on the ground as you can get, and worked as a field organizer for SNCC. Thus, as his story vividly shows, he was really in the thick of the action. All in all, the book isn't necessarily the most well written book, but it's fascinating and reads very easily.
If you're very interested in the organizing done for the Civil Rights Movement, I would read this and I've Got the Light to Freedom by Charles Payne.
