  Have No Fear reminds us what it meant to live under a system where segregation was important enough to kill for and where being treated with dignity and respect was a whites-only entitlement. --The New York Times Book Review A gutsy, American patriot and treasure ...an important slice of American history. --Dan Rather Charles Evers has given us one of the most extraordinary memoirs about race in America that I know. This holy sinner of the civil rights era, who kept company with mobsters, bootleggers, call girls, Kings, Kennedys, and Rockefellers has produced, with Andrew Szanton, a salient one-man's history of Mississippi and the United States before and after Brown v. Board of Education. The fascinating interplay of racial nihilism and political sagacity is reminiscent of the early Malcolm X and the mature Frederick Douglass. --David Levering Lewis Truly spellbinding ...relives the fear, desperation, and confrontation that marked the civil rights struggle. --The seattle times
