The Unknown Civil Rights Leader Who Changed the World

Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth was raised in the crucible of segregated Birmingham, but he was forged by its attempt to kill him. When the KKK planted a bomb underneath his bed and he emerged unharmed, he was sure he was saved by God to lead in the Civil Rights Movement. His work not only ended legal segregation but led directly to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 - and inspired freedom movements around the world.
