Economic inequalities have been perhaps the most enduring problem
facing African Americans since the civil rights movement, despite
the attention they have received from activists. Although the civil
rights movement dealt successfully with injustices like
disenfranchisement and segregated public accommodations, economic
disparities between blacks and whites remain sharp, and the wealth
gap between the two groups has widened in the twenty-first century.
The Economic Civil Rights Movement is a collection of thirteen
original essays that analyze the significance of economic power to
the black freedom struggle by exploring how African Americans
fought for increased economic autonomy in an attempt to improve the
quality of their lives. It covers a wide range of campaigns ranging
from the World War II era through the civil rights and black power
movements and beyond. The unfinished business of the civil rights
movement primarily is economic. This book turns backward toward
history to examine the ways African Americans have engaged this
continuing challenge.
