Description

Civil Rights Since 1787: A Reader on the Black Struggle

This comprehensive anthology explores the black struggle for civil rights in its full context, tracing back to the arrival of the first Africans and their work in the Americas. The book divides the struggle into six major periods, from slavery to Reconstruction, and from segregation to the Second Reconstruction.

Featuring primary documents and secondary analysis, Civil Rights Since 1787 sheds light on the role of orators, activists, and politicians, as well as the part that education and religion have played in the movement. A valuable resource for understanding the complexities of the civil rights struggle.
