Mark Newman outlines the range of white responses to the Civil
Rights Movement and analyses both northern and southern opinion. He
examines the role of the federal government, the church and
organized labor, as well as the impact of the Cold War. The book
discusses local, regional, and national civil rights campaigns; the
utility of nonviolent direct action; and the resurgence of Black
Nationalism. And it explains the development, achievements and
disintegration of the national civil rights coalition, the role of
Martin Luther King Jr. and the contribution of many otherwise
ordinary men and women to the movement.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
receives particular attention, with contrasts drawn between the
national office and state conferences and local branches. In
detailing and assessing the African-American struggle between the
1930s and 1980s, Newman widens the movement's traditional
chronology, offering readers a broad-ranging history.
