This volume is an intimate collection of oral-history interviews capturing the lives of the people who were once the backbone of the rural South, in this case from Bullock County, Alabama. The interviews are elevated to art by the skill of the interviewer/author, a native, who left the area after high school and became a college professor and well-known author in Kentucky but always maintained his roots in the community where he grew up.

In The Rest of the Dream, Lyman Johnson, grassroots civil rights leader, tells his own story. All four of Johnson's grandparents were slaves in Tennessee. Yet his father was a college graduate, principal of a black school, and the inspiration for his son's love of justice. Lyman Johnson was born in 1906 during the darkest days of segregation. He learned from his father not to sit in the "crow's nest" reserved for blacks in his hometown movie theater. This refusal to accept second-class citizenship became a guiding principle in Johnson's life. Johnson was almost forty-three when he won admission to graduate study at the University of Kentucky in 1949. Crosses were burned on campus. Because of his family commitments, he returned to his teaching position in Louisville and never completed his doctorate. Thirty years later the university that fought to keep him out awarded him an honorary doctor of letters degree. Johnson earned his doctorate the hard way―by saying no to the crow's nest and other marks of inequality. Johnson's graphic recall of people and incidents and his storyteller's talent for narrative make this record of a unique American life filled with suspense, humor, tragedy, and triumph.

Author Wade Hall has taken Abraham Lincoln's actual words from speeches, articles, and letters and assembled them in the form of answers to questions posed in an imagined interview with a fictional young journalist recently returned from the war front. The result is a fresh look at the mind and philosophy of our 16th president and the issues he grappled with as the war came to a close just a few days before he was assassinated.
