Through a collection and analysis of carefully selected readings,
Rethinking Debatable Moments in the Civil Rights Movement: Learning
for the Present Moment highlights particular issues, tensions, and
dynamics within the Civil Rights Movement. The text asks pointed
questions regarding debatable moments of the Civil Rights Movement
in order to encourage critical study, stimulate thinking about
possible consequences then and now, seek answers or refine the
questions, and seek direction for the present moment. The readings
are organized in chapters according to the debatable moments: 1)
Should the NAACP have pursued the case of Claudette Colvin in
combating bus segregation in Montgomery?; 2) Should Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr., have joined the Freedom Riders when invited to do
so in 1961?; 3) Should children have been allowed to participate in
the Birmingham Campaign protests in 1963?; 4) Should SNCC's John
Lewis have agreed to amend his speech in the 1963 March on
Washington?; and 5) Should Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., have turned
the marchers around at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma after
Bloody Sunday? General and chapter introductions and an epilogue
explore the context, the key players, the issues, the nature of the
crisis, and the consequences and implications of each debatable
moment. Rethinking Debatable Moments in the Civil Rights Movement
is an excellent supplementary text for courses in anthropology,
sociology, black studies, and related social science disciplines.
