Civil rights and social wrongs

Description:

John Higham and The Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies have brought together nine original essays - plus a tenth already published essay that deserves to be more widely known. Together these essays offer the most compactly comprehensive appraisal we have of how the modern civil rights movement came about, how it changed relationships between blacks and whites, and how it led to affirmative action, to multiculturalism, and eventually to the present stalemate and discontent.
