"Liturgy of Change shows how civil rights mass meetings imbued traditional religious genres (liturgy, sacred song, prayer, testimony) from the Black church with new meanings that emboldened and unified groups into courageous collectives. Going beyond well-known civil rights individuals and places, Miller's careful analysis provides valuable insight into the actions and reactions of little-known mass-meeting participants across the South."—Lisa J. Shaver, Baylor University
"Like its subject—the mass meetings that were so important to the civil rights movement during the 1960s—Liturgy of Change is transformational: read it, and you'll never think of mass meetings in the same way ever again."—John L. Selzer, Paterno Family Liberal Arts Professor Emeritus, Penn State
