Contents:
Introduction : conflict, power, and the long civil rights movement in northwest Florida -- Patterns of protest in Escambia County -- The movement evolves -- Cultural imagery, school integration, and the lost cause -- Racial irritants -- Who shall we incarcerate? -- Opposition familiar and unanticipated -- The state of Florida v. B.J. Brooks and H.K. Matthews -- Clouds of interracial revolution -- The consequences of powerlessness -- Legacy of a struggle.
Summary: In 1975, Florida's Escambia County experienced a pernicious chain of events. A sheriff's deputy killed a young black man at point-blank range. Months of protests against police brutality followed. Viewing the events within the context of the broader civil rights movement, J. Michael Butler demonstrates that while activism of the previous decade destroyed most visible and dramatic signs of racial segregation, institutionalized forms of cultural racism still persisted.
