Talk:We Are Not Afraid

Historical errors
Dittmer p. 657 noted:
 * The assertion that Ulysses S. Grant took Vicksburg, Mississippi "with a coordinated river and land assault" on July 4, 1863 is a historical error. (see Battle of Vicksburg which shows it was a siege lasting forty days ending on July 4)
 * James K. Vardman is misidentified as "Thomas" K. Vardman
 * It stated that Freedom Riders were given good meals in prison facilities in the South, also a mistake

p. 658 stated that these are "errors of interpretation": WhisperToMe (talk) 03:15, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
 * they implied that there was "a Mississippi movement masterminded by a handful of dedicated outsiders", citing the author's statements about Mississippi Free Press and stating that James Forman was a "chief [peer]" of Bob Moses
