Reading for next time: Taylor Branch, Parting the Waters: America in the King Years, 1954-1963

Below is an embedded Google Books version of the reading for next time: the chapter on the Montgomery Bus Boycott from Taylor Branch's truly magnificent three-volume biography of Martin Luther King. I'm not sure how deep into the chapter Google Books will let you get before it cuts off. I'd planned to put up a PDF, but the book's checked out of the library and I won't be able to purchase a copy till later tonight. So expect to see the PDF tomorrow, and, in the meantime, if you'd like to get started, you can begin reading this version.

(Please note that there's no writing assignment attached to this reading assignment. I'd prefer that you concentrate on completing your draft of Project 1.)
