About the Book

"Lawrence Thomas Guyot Jr. (1939-2012), known simply as "Guyot" (pronounced ghee-aught), was a pivotal yet underrecognized figure in the civil rights movement.

Guyot later moved into Washington, DC, politics, working alongside leaders like Marion Barry, shifting from a rural civil rights organizer to an urban political strategist. Chris Danielson's nuanced portrayal of Guyot offers a fresh perspective on the civil rights movement. Through Guyot's activism, Brother Outsider, Brother Insider invites a reassessment of the era and the individuals who shaped it"--
