Reviews
" Freedom Season is a remarkable book, shining new light on a pivotal year in our nation's past. Joseph's sweeping narrative makes history come alive, showing how 1963 continues to haunt and inspire America. From James Baldwin to Gloria Richardson, this is a story of bold ideas and actions that is as relevant today as ever."-- Matthew F. Delmont, author of Half American, " Freedom Season is a masterful and urgent work by Peniel Joseph, one of our most incisive historians of race in the twentieth century. With extraordinary depth and narrative power, Joseph brings 1963 to life as a transformative moment in the long Black freedom struggle, weaving together political history and cultural analysis to illuminate the seismic shifts that shaped the modern civil rights movement. Freedom Season challenges us to see the intersections of past and present, revealing how the struggles of the 1960s continue to define the fight for justice today. The book is an indispensable contribution to the history of American democracy and Black liberation."-- Elizabeth Hinton, author of America on Fire, "A cogent argument for considering 1963 as the central year of the modern Civil Rights Movement...Timely reading in an era of social and legislative backsliding that threatens to erase many civil rights gains."-- Kirkus, "Through myriad fascinating characters, from James Baldwin to Malcolm X, Lorraine Hansberry to Dr. King and the Kennedy brothers, Peniel Joseph animates the tantalizing drama of a year on which the axle of history turned. Many readers will know the seminal moments of 1963. How can those of us who lived through it ever forget them? The Fire Next Time , the murder of Medgar Evers, the March on Washington, the Birmingham Church Bombing, the JFK assassination. But here, in vivid fashion, Joseph narrates the unfolding days and months of that unforgettable year in a way that makes for suspenseful reading and a compelling look back at a time of reckoning in America."-- Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Harvard University, "Peniel E. Joseph's Freedom Season is a brilliantly constructed and endlessly rewarding history of 1963 in America, with the Kennedy brothers, Malcom X, Martin Luther King, Jr., James Baldwin, and Medgar Evers taking center stage. Joseph, our dean of Black Power Studies, expertly grapples with the milieu of race and the liberal Democratic political stratagems that tragically culminated in the assassination of JFK in Dallas. Packed with thorough research and fresh anecdotes, this is a master class in US civil rights history like none other. Highly recommended!"-- Douglas Brinkley, author of Silent Spring Revolution

Synopsis
A "captivating and compelling" (Keisha N. Blain, coeditor of the #1 New York Times -bestseller Four Hundred Souls ) narrative history of 1963, the pivotal moment in America's long civil rights movement--the year of the March on Washington, Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail," and the assassinations of Medgar Evers and John F. Kennedy In Freedom Season , acclaimed historian Peniel E. Joseph offers a stirring narrative history of 1963, marking it as the defining year of the Black freedom struggle--a year when America faced a deluge of political strife and violence and emerged transformed. Nineteen sixty-three opened with the centenary of the Emancipation Proclamation and ended with America in a state of mourning. The months in between brought waves of racial terror, mass protest, and police repression that shocked the world, inspired radicals and reformers, and forced the hands of moderate legislators. By year's end the murders of John F. Kennedy, Medgar Evers, and four Black girls at a church in Alabama left the nation determined to imagine a new way forward. Alongside the stories of historical giants like James Baldwin and Martin Luther King Jr., Joseph uplifts the perspectives of less celebrated leaders like playwright Lorraine Hansberry and activist Gloria Richardson. Over one heartbreakingly tumultuous year, America unraveled and remade itself as the world looked on. Freedom Season shows how the upheavals of 1963 planted the seeds for watershed civil rights legislation and renewed hope in the promise and possibility of freedom.
