Civil rights in the gateway to the South

Description:

Historian K'Meyer "provides the first comprehensive look at the distinctive elements of Louisville's civil rights movement. K'Meyer frames her ... analysis by defining a border as a space where historical patterns and social concerns overlap. From this vantage point, she argues that broad coalitions of Louisvillians waged long-term, interconnected battles during the city's civil rights movement."--Book jacket.
