Description

 							In this arresting and groundbreaking account, David L. Chappell reveals that, far from coming to an abrupt end
with King’s murder, the civil rights movement entered a new phase. It both grew and splintered. These were years
when decisive, historic victories were no longer within reach—the movement’s achievements were instead
hard-won, and their meanings unsettled. From the fight to pass the Fair Housing Act in 1968, to debates over unity and
leadership at the National Black Political Conventions, to the campaign for full-employment legislation, to the
surprising enactment of the Martin Luther King holiday, to Jesse Jackson’s quixotic presidential campaigns,
veterans of the movement struggled to rally around common goals.
   
  Waking from the Dream documents this
struggle, including moments when the movement seemed on the verge of dissolution, and the monumental efforts of its
members to persevere. For this watershed study of a much-neglected period, Chappell spent ten years sifting through a
voluminous public record: congressional hearings and government documents; the archives of pro– and
anti–civil rights activists, oral and written remembrances of King’s successors and rivals, documentary
film footage, and long-forgotten coverage of events from African American newspapers and journals.
   
  The
result is a story rich with period detail, as Chappell chronicles the difficulties the movement encountered while
working to build coalitions, pass legislation, and mobilize citizens in the absence of King’s galvanizing
leadership. Could the civil rights coalition stay together as its focus shifted from public protests to congressional
politics? Did the movement need a single, charismatic leader to succeed King, and who would that be? As the
movement’s leaders pushed forward, they continually looked back, struggling to define King’s legacy and
harness his symbolic power.
   
  Waking from the Dream is a revealing and resonant look at civil rights after
King as well as King’s place in American memory. It illuminates a time, explores a cause, and explains how a
movement labored to overcome the loss of its leader.
