Description
Perhaps the most extensive book to date ever written on the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Let My People Go! may prove to be the encyclopedia of this pivotal event in American history. While other books written on the boycott primarily focus on the point of view of one key leader, this book discusses the boycott from several viewpoints and takes the reader on an historical journey through time, illustrating how God consistently intervened in the course of history to free His people from the evils of human injustice.

Written in a manner intended to be accessible to a 5th-grade audience and above, this book by Walker (curriculum and instruction, Alabama State U.) retells the story of the Montgomery bus boycott, one of the seminal events of the American civil rights movement, from an explicitly religious perspective. Walker believes that the boycott was only successful because of active divine intervention and compares it to the release of the Children of Israel from Egyptian slavery, as told in the biblical book of Exodus.
