- catalog abstract "THE LAST DAYS is something entirely different in the voluminous literature of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. While scores of books have recorded the legal struggles and victories of the American Civil Rights movement through 1967, very few have talked about the fallout from these victories, how individual men, women and young adults struggled with the actual processes of integration on the personal level: in the homes, the schools, the churches, where people came face-to-face with racial hatred--with those who practiced it, and those who suffered from it. Seeking to come to terms with the haunting memories of his own childhood and adolescence in the mid-sixties and early-seventies in the deep South, Charles Marsh has crafted a gripping story of small town Southern life caught up in the whirlwind of the Civil Rights movement and heartbreaking memoir in which Marsh explores how good Christian folk acquisced to the terror of the KKK and how his father, a prominent Baptist minister, eventually found the courage to share in the vision of a new South.".
