HIS 266 - Civil Rights Movement Biography

Institution:

Tennessee Wesleyan University

Subject:

Description:

One of the most extraordinary stories of the American twentieth century (quite possibly of American history overall), the Civil Rights Movement largely turned southern society-- and America in general-- upside down. Southern history might still be marked (in much the same way as the Civil War itself) as �before and after� the revolution in civil rights of the 1950s and 1960s. This course will tell the story of the movement largely through the biographies of the extraordinary people who made it happen� African American and white, male and female, journalist and activist, politician and foot soldier.
