The Wrong Side of Murder Creek
Even forty years after the civil rights movement, the transition from son and grandson of Klansmen to field secretary of SNCC seems quite a journey. In the early 1960s, when Bob Zellner’s professors and classmates at a small church school in Alabama thought he was crazy for even wanting to do research on civil rights, it was nothing short of remarkable. Now, in his long-awaited memoir, Zellner tells how one white Alabamian joined ranks with the black students who were sitting-in, marching, fighting, and sometimes dying to challenge the Southern “way of life” he had been raised on but rejected. Decades later, he is still protesting on behalf of social change and equal rights. Fortunately, he took the time, with co-author Constance Curry, to write down his memories and reflections. He was in all the campaigns and was close to all the major figures. He was beaten, arrested, and reviled by some but admired and revered by others. The Wrong Side of Murder Creek, winner of the 2009 Lillian Smith Book Award, is Bob Zellner’s larger-than-life story, and it was worth waiting for.
Many Minds, One Heart
How did the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee break open the caste system in the American South between 1960 and 1965? In this innovative study, Wesley Hogan explores what SNCC accomplished and, more important, how it fostered significant social change in such a short time. She offers new insights into the internal dynamics of SNCC as well as the workings of the larger civil rights and Black Power movement of which it was a part. As Hogan chronicles, the members of SNCC created some of the civil rights movement's boldest experiments in freedom, including the sit-ins of 1960, the rejuvenated Freedom Rides of 1961, and grassroots democracy projects in Georgia and Mississippi.

Missing Pieces
Missing Pieces: the Truth tells the story of a woman's struggle to find her identity in God and her search for the truth concerning her distant relative, Henry Wells. Alive in the 1800s, Henry Wells is now known as one of the thirteen ghosts of Alabama. His face appears in the Carrollton, Alabama Courthouse's window. Along with recounting her own inspirational story, Brenda shares the proof she uncovered about the historical events concerning her great great uncle. When asked about writing Missing Pieces: The Truth, Brenda responded, "No matter what we go through, always know that God has a plan for all of us through faith in Jesus Christ, whether through the good or the bad. Know well that we all are held accountable for our own actions. It may seem like a long hard road to walk, but you can get there and see that he is for real all through faith and prayer. But we've gotta go through to get through. Must Jesus bear the cross alone? I have been through a lot, but I will never be ashamed or doubt my faith in God. I have the conformation of the Lord, and that's all I need. Life is not a competition but about living in righteousness and truth."
