The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of a Nation (Pulitzer Prize Winner)

An unprecedented examination of how news stories, editorials and photographs in the American pressâ€”and the journalists responsible for themâ€”profoundly changed the nationâ€™s thinking about civil rights in the South during the 1950s and â€˜60s.

Roberts and Klibanoff draw on private correspondence, notes from secret meetings, unpublished articles, and interviews to show how a dedicated cadre of newsmenâ€”black and whiteâ€”revealed to a nation its most shameful shortcomings that compelled its citizens to act. Meticulously researched and vividly rendered, The Race Beat is an extraordinary account of one of the most calamitous periods in our nationâ€™s history, as told by those who covered it.
