At Canaan's Edge: America in the King Years 1965-68

Branch, Taylor. At Canaan's Edge: America in the King Years 1965-68. New York: Simon & Schuster, 2006.

Why this matters here

Branch's concluding King Years volume follows the movement after Selma, including its Northern campaigns and open-housing struggles. When Authority Is Misread cites it where the argument moves from southern legal barriers to Northern resistance. The book's claim about gradualism changing its manners is its own interpretation.
