Focusing on the African American civil rights struggle, this book offers a clear narrative that synthesizes the complex history of the twentieth century. It examines both the Civil Rights and Black Power movements as interconnected facets of the broader Black Freedom struggle. The author explores their impact on various aspects of society, including housing, education, and labor, while situating the activism of the 1950s and 60s within a longer tradition spanning from Reconstruction to contemporary times.
