Charles Cobb left college in the early 1960s to join the Civil Rights movement in the deep South. He spent five years working with people who would become icons of the movement, and working in places that became pivotal battlegrounds in the fight for civil rights. Cobb's new book, "On The Road to Freedom" (Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill/2008), is an insider's tour of the Civil Rights trail, from D.C. down to Florida. Charles Cobb talks with host Frank Stasio about the sit-ins, the speeches and the struggles that were central to the Civil Rights movement.
