The book examines how the coalition among the national African
American civil rights organizations disintegrated between 1967 and
1973 as a result of the factionalism that splintered the groups
from within as well as the federal government's sabotage of the
Civil Rights Movement. Focusing on four major civil rights groups,
Power, Politics, and the Decline of the Civil Rights Movement: A
Fragile Coalition, 1967-1973 documents how factions within the
movement and sabotage from the federal government led to the
gradual splintering of the Civil Rights Movement. Well-known
historian Christopher P. Lehman builds his case convincingly,
utilizing his original research on the Movement's later years-a
period typically overlooked and unexamined in the existing
literature on the Movement. The book identifies how each civil
rights group challenged poverty, violence, and discrimination
differently from one another and describes how the federal
government intentionally undermined civil rights organizations'
efforts. It also shows how civil rights activists gravitated to
political careers, explains the rising prominence of civil rights
speakers to the Movement in the absence of political organizing by
civil rights groups, and documents the Movement's influence upon
Richard Nixon's presidency. Identifies the instances in which the
civil rights groups acted as a united coalition between 1967 and
1973 and recognizes how disagreements on separatism, feminism, and
political campaigning split the Civil Rights Movement into
individual civil rights groups Establishes the importance of women
to the survival of the Movement in its later years Shows how the
Movement influenced antiwar demonstrations of the era and struggled
to remain nonviolent as Black Power militancy peaked Details
efforts by the White House, the FBI, and state governments to
infiltrate and sabotage the Movement Provides broad content ideal
for undergraduate and graduate college students taking courses on
the Civil Rights Movement as well as for professional and lay
historians
