Reviews
About a week after the [Montgomery Bus Boycott] started a white woman who understood and sympathized with the Negroes' efforts wrote a letter to the editor... comparing the bus protest with the Gandhian movement in India. Miss Juliette Morgan, sensitive and frail, did not long survive the rejection and condemnation of the white community, but before she died in the summer of 1957 the name of Mahatma Gandhi was well-known in Montgomery. - Martin Luther King Jr., from Stride toward Freedom ""A rare portrait of Alabama race relations, as told by Juliette Hampton Morgan, her mother, and associates. It is a significant contribution to its field because it tells a little-known story of white people and their desire to change racism and the status quo even before the Montgomery Bus Boycott."" - Constance Curry, coauthor of Mississippi Harmony
