Quotation question
I'm trying to quote a passage from a book which alread has a quotation in it. How do I do this? To explain better, here is an example.
Exact Passage:
To conservatives, the liberal influence in the nation’s schools, pulpits, and politics endangered what they perceived as the “traditional American way of life.”
I want to write in my essay:
Conservatives feared "liberal influence in the nation's schools, pulpits, and politics endangered what they perceived as the 'traditional American way of life.'" (McGirr, 69)
I'm replacing the original quotation in the book with a single quotation. Is that allowed, or should I be doing something different. I checked up a set of MLA guidelines, but they didnt seem to directly answer this question.
