Civil Rights Crossroads

Nation, Community, And the Black Freedom Struggle

Edición de la obra Civil rights crossroads

"The civil rights movement, observes historian Steven F. Lawson, was the intersection of two parallel tracks - federal initiative and grassroots activism. No other scholar of African American history has traced the influence of national and local activism with such insight or illuminated the contributions of so many civil rights activists, familiar and unfamiliar. Civil Rights Crossroads brings together Lawson's most important writings, updated to offer fresh perspectives and penetrating insights into the continuing black struggle for equality in America."--Jacket.
