""My Soul Is Rested" grew from a Southern newspaperman's conviction that there is indeed a New South and that the Civil Rights movement created it. For a year and a half, political reporter Howell Raines tracked down and interviewed the people who had shaped the Movement as leaders and followers -- and as opponents. The result is an oral history that sweeps with stunning force from the Montgomery bus boycott of 1955 to the death of Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1968."
