The Continuing Crisis: An Assessment of New Racial Tensions in the South, May 1966

Atlanta: The Southern Regional Council, 1966. First Edition. Octavo. Staple-bound pamphlet; 40pp. Fine, apparently unread copy. Follow-up to the SRC's 1960 report titled "Intimidation, Reprisal and Violence in the South's Racial Crisis," documenting the continuing crisis of violence and intimidation stemming from the 1954 school desegregation decisions. The current pamphlet, issued six years later, "...with the same sense of sadness and urgency...continues the story -- with its warning to the nation that violence has not abated, and that the miracle of non-retaliation from Negroes cannot be expected to continue" (from the Introduction). An important and somewhat uncommon SRC report.

Price: $45.00
