Reviews
"In On the Road to Freedom: A Guided Tour of the Civil Rights Trail, Charles Cobb Jr. injects some much needed immediacy into the myth by compiling a detailed, city-by-city guide to its lesser known people, places and events. Even readers who think they've got a pretty good grasp of civil rights history are likely to find stories and personalities in the book they haven't encountered before. . . . On the Road to Freedom benefits from both [the author's] intimate knowledge of the movement and his investigative skills. . . . This book is first-rate popular history, and deserves a place in any freedom-lovers library."-- Nashville Scene
"It could easily be a textbook for Black History Month. It is so tightly written that the reader follows the trail Cobb skillfully outlines in the 388-page book."--Currents
On the Road to Freedom: A Guided Tour of the Civil Rights Trail is another chance for us to learn, remember and be proud of a group of people who struggled to make changes without seeing what vacation days we have. . . . Cobb's book will certainly make you think about places you are familiar with where change happened and how it affected you."-- The State
