Contents:

Introduction: finding the hidden provocateurs

Prologue: before the end

In the shadow of his smile

Now you see me, now you don't

My dear Mr. Marshall

The balm in gilead

A simple scheme to do a "simple little"

To help our people

Fighting white folk

Out of the public eye

Seasons of opportunity

Paying the cost

Just trying to be a man

Moving on up

In this present crisis

Shifting sands

The ties that bind

Paying the Cost-Again

Walking the Ancient Paths

Policing the South

Justice Restructured in Dixie

As freedom turns

Not a two-way street

We hold these truths

Fighting back

A charge to keep I have

Justice betrayed

A second-class integration it is

Nobody but a fool
