Remembering Fred Shuttlesworth
Close Read : The New Yorker: "The Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth, a leader of the civil-rights movement, died Wedneday, at the age of eighty-nine; one of the humbling aspects of his life is that he managed to live so long, given the risks he took. In 1956, on the Christmas Day when he was thirty-four, someone tossed six sticks of dynamite through his window. A few months later, he was one of the founders of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, along with Martin Luther King, Jr. That same year, the Times’s obituary notes, “Klansmen attacked him with bicycle chains and brass knuckles.”"
