An incredible, informative, collection of essays, articles, analysis, interviews, primary documents and interactive & interdisciplinary teaching aids on civil rights, movement building, and what it means for all of the inhabitants of the planet. With sections on education, economic justice, citizenship, and culture, it connects the African-American Civil Rights Movement to Native American, Latina, Asian-American, gay rights, and international struggles; while highlighting the often-ignored roles of women in social justice movements.. Packed into nearly 600 oversize pages are photographs, songs, statements, and work from the likes of such great writers, historians, and activists as Bill Bigelow, James Loewen, June Jordan, Grace Lee Boggs, Herbert Kohl, Bayard Rustin, Rita Dove, Malcolm X, George Jackson, Ward Churchill, Leonard Peltier, Thurgood Marshall, Gwendolyn Brooks, Elizabeth Martinez, Sonia Sanchez, Eric Foner, Marcus Garvey, Manning Marable, and dozens more. What a treasure trove. And what a vital (and useful) tool.
This book is a must for anyone teaching about the civil rights movement, or for anyone who wants to deepened their knowledge of the movement. There is so much that has been forgotten from that period of time, partially because the history textbooks we have our students read completely water down the movement into just a few individuals who magically transformed society by themselves in a short period of time. The lessons in this book show students that a long history of struggle, grassroots and collective organizing, and direct action by thousands of people were the true catalysts for bringing our country closer to equality. It is so important to teach students the power that ordinary people have when they become organized. This book gives you all the resources you need to do just that.
