Abstract:"James Farmer was one of the most influential leaders in America's fight against racial discrimination. A Methodist minister, Farmer formed the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in 1942 to orchestrate a campaign of nonviolent direct action for an integrated society. Holding defiant yet peaceful protests for the purpose of ending segregation in housing, restaurants, and other public facilities, the organization emerged as a major force in the civil rights movement"--Page [4] of cover.
