The history of the Nonviolent Right To Vote Movement is incomplete without the work of James Luther Bevel. If there had not been a James Bevel there would not have been a voting rights act. As the initiation, developer, organizer and director of the movement, he galvanized people to join him in eradicating the barriers to voting. It is the complete story that allows people to understand how a movement takes place. As the strategist for this movement his knowledge is of ultimate value.
