SOMETHING MUST BE DONE REVIEWS "A gripping narrative" -New York Times "A gift to a new generation of readers" -The Washington Post "This intimate and candid account.... personalizes politics, jangles nerves and opens minds." -Richmond Times-Dispatch "Green's work brims with real-life detail from the journalist's eye and ear and joins the likes of Diane McWhorter's CARRY ME HOME in further developing the dimensions of the South's desegregation struggle" -Library Journal "Green feels compelled to stare down her past, and she does so with uncommon humanity." -New York 1 News "A potent introduction to a nearly forgotten part of the civil rights movement and a personalized reminder of what it was truly about." -Kirkus Reviews, (starred review) "Absorbing. . . . A merger of history both lived and studied." -Publishers Weekly "Green has rendered a deeply moving account of historical injustice and a personal search for redemption for her family's role in it." -Booklist, (starred review) "A vivid reminder of how things were, not so very long ago." -Harvard Magazine
