Annotation |
Beginning with the aftermath of the Civil War, the authors describe the social conditions and political climate in which black Americans won their constitutional rights, only to have them repressed and curtailed by laws passed in the South. Moving into the twentieth century, the authors describe the struggle for civil rights by blacks as well as other minorities including women, people with handicaps, Indians, Mexican-Americans, and others. For grades 6-9 and older readers.
