It is not the standard text on the topic that is usually found because it uses sources directly associated with those whom led and marched on the campaigns. Too often the men and women who knew were an integral part of the civil and human rights struggle are overlooked by those who write on the subject in the Ivory Tower of academia. This book makes a strong effort to reference the voices of those who knew Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on a personal and professional level. The same goes for Minister Malcolm X; who was not part of the mainstream civil rights organizations yet an integral part of the era who cannot be dismissed.\u003cp\u003eAvailable in both print and eBook (audio-accessible), \u003cem\u003eThe 20th Century Civil Rights Movement: An Africana Studies Perspective\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eis an important book for our times covering the history of the Civil Rights Movement that leads to the present times.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eis written in an engaging and accessible style this book will be perfect for college students and the general reader.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eis written by an author with almost thirty years' teaching experience in higher education and has addressed student questions concerning the Civil Rights Movement he's received over the decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eis based on engagement with sources and writers who experienced working and interacting with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and other key actors in the Civil Rights Movement era.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTopics covered: the historical context of the African American experience; catalysts for the movement; the emergence of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr; from the sit-ins to Freedom Riders and Freedom Summer; Minister Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam; white liberals and problematic gradualism; Black Power and the Black Panther Party era; Black women and their contributions to the freedom struggle; the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; and the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement in relation to the present. This book is written for undergraduates and the general reader in order to give an account of those who struggled so that future generations could be free of racialized discrimination. They may not have succeeded entirely in their quest for cultural, social, economic and political justice, but there is no doubt that whatever freedoms enjoyed today are of a consequence to those that gave their lives to the greatest struggle of the 20th Century for freedom from oppression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedication\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter One Historical Context\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Two Catalysts for the Movement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Three Emergence and Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Four Free-to-Feed, Freedom Riders, and Freedom Summer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Five Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Six White Liberals and the Problem of Gradualism\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Seven Black Nationalism and The Black Power Era\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Eight African American Women Leaders\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Nine Reflections on the Assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Ten Legacy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003eTimeline\u003cbr\u003eSelected Annotated Bibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kendall\/Hunt Publishing Co ,U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52085026554199,"sku":"9781524997472","price":83.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781524997472.jpg?v=1762207962","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-20th-century-civil-rights-movement-an-africana-studies-perspective-9781524997472","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
