About this listen

From the Montgomery bus boycott to the Little Rock Nine to the Selma-Montgomery march, thousands of ordinary people participated in the American civil rights movement; their stories are told in Eyes on the Prize.

From leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr., to lesser-known figures such as Barbara Rose Johns and Jim Zwerg, each man and woman made the decision that something had to be done to stop discrimination. These moving accounts of the first decade of the civil rights movement are a tribute to the people, black and white, who took part in the fight for justice and the struggle they endured.

Great book... well worth the listen. However, it is let down by the narration...... he talks too quickly... has no idea about a pause at a comma or a longer pause at a full stop.
I listened to the book at 0.8x speed!!

Great book .... poor narration
