The Civil Rights Movement warrants continuing and extensive
examination. The six papers in this collection, each supplemented
by a follow-up assessment, contribute to a clearer perception of
what caused and motivated the movement, of how it functioned, of
the changes that occurred within it, and of its accomplishments and
shortcomings. Its profound effect upon modern America has so
greatly changed relations between the races that C. Vann Woodward
has called it the "second revolution."
In a limited space the eleven scholars range with a definitive
view over a large subject. Their papers analyze and emphasize the
Civil Rights Movement's important aspects: its origins and causes,
its strategies and tactics for accomplishing black freedom, the
creative tensions in its leadership, the politics of the movement
in the key state of Mississippi, and the role of federal law and
federal courts.
In this collection a scholarly balance is achieved for each
paper by a follow-up commentary from a significant authority. By
deepening the understanding of the Civil Rights Movement, these
essays underscore what has been gained through struggle, as well as
acknowledging the goals that are yet to be attained.
