Review:
"[Watters] pays elegiac tribute to the beautiful spirit which 'held forth alternatives which the culture was incapable of accepting.' . . . He illuminates the duplicities of the white establishment, throws into sharp focus the pathologies of American life and attitudes and writes almost heartbreakingly of the opportunity for 'salvation' he feels his country has missed."--"Publishers Weekly"
"The best history of the Southern civil rights movement that has appeared to date. Thoughtful, perceptive, highly readable."--"The Nation"

--The NationPart history and part meditation, Down To Now is a southern journalist's intensely personal account of the civil rights movement in the South during the 1960s. Pat Watters, first as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal and then as a writer for the Southern regional Council, followed the movement from the early days of sit-ins, marches, and freedom rides through the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Poor People's Campaign in the summer of 1968.
