    In My Soul is Rested, Raines writes, from the words of Franklin McCain, “… I felt as though the manhood of a number of other black persons had been restored and had gotten some respect from just that one day. The movement started out as a movement of nonviolence and a Christian movement… It was a movement that was seeking justice more than anything else and not a movement to start a war… We knew that probably the most powerful and potent weapon that people have literally no defense for love, kindness.
