Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Covering all the momentous events that helped push forward America's Civil Rights policies-from Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.-this is the first fully illustrated chronicle of the complete history of the African-American civil rights struggle.

Book News Annotation:

This is a pictorial history of the African American struggle for freedom and equality. The narrative history focuses on the Civil Rights era of the 1950s and 1960s, but does include some discussion of its historical precursors and legacy. Photographic depictions of the era are given prominent place throughout. Also included are numerous side boxes providing specific focus on particular events, institutions, and people, including Medgar Evars, Muhammad Ali, Fred Shuttlesworth, and Huey P. Newton, to name just a few.
