It's in the Action: Memories of a Nonviolent Warrior
The wisdom acquired during C. T. Vivian's lifetime is generously shared in It's in the Action, the civil rights legend's memoir of his early life and time in the civil rights movement. Vivian worked hand-in-hand with the movement's most famous figures, including Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lewis, and his contributions were no less vital to the successes of nonviolent resistance. Bearing a foreword from Andrew Young, It's in the Action is an important addition to civil rights history from Vivian and co-author Steve Fiffer.

Über den Autor
Born in Missouri in 1924, C. T. Vivian lived twenty-four years in Illinois before moving to Nashville, where he earned a degree in theology and joined John Lewis, Diane Nash, and others to integrate the city in 1960. After being imprisoned and beaten during the Freedom Rides, he joined Dr. King at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in Atlanta and played leading roles in integration and voting rights campaigns in Birmingham, St. Augustine, and Selma. In 2013, President Barack Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Vivian. He passed away peacefully in Atlanta on July 17, 2020.
