From slavery to Jim Crow -- Demonstrating for equality -- Ending school segregation -- Securing the right to vote -- Civil rights in the twenty-first century.
Summary:
"Since its founding, America has championed the ideal of equality for all its citizens. But ideals do not become reality by simply wishing them to be so; it is hard and often unsung work by dedicated people that brings an ideal to fruition. Through The Civil Rights Movement, equality for all Americans was finally made the law of the land."--Provided by publisher.
