Description

Explore a moving account of the campaign for civil rights in modern America. In this volume from the Studies In Modern History series, Robert Cook shifts the focus away from famous charismatic leaders to highlight the ordinary men and women who drove change. By examining the grass-roots activities of community leaders and civil-rights workers, this book provides a unique perspective on how real people mobilized for justice. The narrative begins with the development of segregation in the late nineteenth century and follows the continuing struggle throughout the twentieth century. It presents a dramatic story of many achievements while also serving as a record of unfinished business. This book is an essential read for those interested in social and cultural history and the deep-rooted efforts to transform the American landscape.
