Along Freedom Road: Hyde County, North Carolina and the Fate of Black Schools in the South by David S. Cecelski, ISBN 0807844373
David Cecelski chronicles one of the most sustained and successful protests of the civil rights movement--the 1968-69 school boycott in Hyde County, North Carolina. For an entire year, the county's black citizens refused to send their children to school in protest of a desegregation plan that required closing two historically black schools in their remote coastal community. Parents and students held nonviolent protests daily for five months, marched twice on the state capitol in Raleigh, and drive the Ku Klux Klan out of the county in a massive gunfight.
