内容简介
This book is the winner of the Gustavus Myers Center Outstanding Book Award, and winner of the Thomas J. Wilson Prize. The story of the civil rights movement typically begins with the Montgomery bus boycott of 1955 and culminates with the 1965 voting rights struggle in Selma. But as Martha Biondi shows, a grassroots struggle for racial equality in the urban North began a full ten years before the rise of the movement in the South.
