By Bob This is a very short biography of an important minister who made important contributions to the Civil Rights movement in the late 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The title refers to black people who were "invisible" in East Texas. But it could also apply to William B. Oliver, the subject of the book. Bill was one of those modest, self-effacing people who worked tirelessly, led a life of financial sacrifice, and often risked his life, for the Civil Rights cause. He, too, is nearly invisible. Bill is now in his 80s and failing. He has been a good friend for over a dozen years, but he rarely talked about all that he had done. Thanks to Charles Soule for shining a tiny spotlight on Bill Oliver. If you are interested in the history of the Civil Rights movement, you should buy and read this little book. (I give it 4 stars because Soule is good, but not a professional writer. The subject, however, gets 5 stars, or more.)

Proof that America is full of heroes that never appear in textbooks, but have a profound impact on the lives of all American.The Civil Rights Movement was not limited to the Selma's or the Montgomery's of the world. It took place in small town Texas as well. This memoir is a history lesson in how racial divides were present everywhere and how one man courage and commitment can make a difference.It is not an easy read and I found myself in tears many times; however, this small glimpse has inspired me to learn more about this important time in our history and into how the American Christian church (in all of its flavors) behaved & responded during this social revolution.It is just 112 pages (so easily finished in one sitting), so reading it multiple times has been a pleasure. I've discovered something new each time.

By Megan Soule I'm so happy that Bill Oliver agreed to talk with my grandfather because his story is an important one that needs to be told. This memoir was a nice read about a civil rights activist most are not aware of. Bill Oliver made a significant impact on this country's history and this book is a nice homage to that.
