Description
The second volume of an acclaimed trilogy on the American Civil Rights Movement, this sweeping history follows the movement from 1963 through 1965, a period of extraordinary momentum, confrontation, and national transformation. It chronicles pivotal campaigns, landmark legislation, and the leaders and ordinary citizens whose courage brought racial justice to the center of American public life. At the same time, it examines the movement’s internal debates, the resistance it provoked, and the widening tensions that challenged its unity. Richly researched and vividly told, the book combines political history with a deeply human account of one of the defining struggles in modern America.
