'1963 was really the year that changed things,' says Byron Williams, the author of 1963: The Year of Hope & Hostility. Several books discuss the events that Williams, a regular contributor to The Huffington Post, explores in his book, but none have viewed them through the lens of a 365-day odyssey that chronicles this watershed moment in American history and culture. None have focused with laser-like precision on the major events of that year. In 1963, Williams, the pastor of the Resurrection Community Church in Berkley, California, examines America as it was fifty years ago and its impact on America today.
