This work documents the importance of the civil rights movement and
its lasting impression on American society and culture. This
revealing volume looks at the struggle for individual rights from
the social historian's perspective, providing a fresh context for
gauging the impact of the civil rights movement on everyday life
across the full spectrum of American society. From the landmark
Brown v. Board of Education case to protests against the Vietnam
War to the fight for black power, Civil Rights Movement: People and
Perspectives looks at events that set the stage for guaranteeing
America's promise to all Americans. In eight chapters, some of the
country's leading social historians analyze the most recent
investigations into the civil rights era's historical context and
pivotal moments. Readers will gain a richer understanding of a
movement that expanded well beyond its initial focus (the treatment
of African Americans in the South) to include other Americans in
regions across the nation.
