There is a fantstic interview with Taylor Branch (author, historian) repeated on C-Span II tonight at 12:00 midnight. It's long, 3 hrs., but tremedously informative. He covers the 50s and 60s and just refreshes our memories of that era. I can't recall the title, but he wrote the definitive biography of MLK.

1. Titles...

The first volume of Mr. Branch's three part biography of the Civil Rights Movement, titled "Parting the Waters" (1988), was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. The second volume, "Pillar of Fire," was published ten years later in 1998 and the third and final volume ("At Canaan's Edge") will just recently published. Mr. Branch's other books are: "Labyrinth" (1982, co-authored with Eugene Propper), "The Empire Blues" (1981), "Second Wind (1979, co-authored with Bill Russell) and "Blowing the Whistle" (1972, co-authored with Charles Peters).

I caught most of it this morning, I love the Author call-in shows.

2. Thanks.

I couldn't devote my entire attention to the interview, I knew I heard mention of the Pulitzer, but did'nt want to mispeak. His comments on Lyndon Johnson were interesting, too. He presented so much of his information the way I remembered events, that often get muddled with the passage of time. I really, really did enjoy the interview.
