Summary:

"In the middle of the twentieth century oppression and racism were challenged by courage, leadership, and a dream. The crusade for freedom promised to unite the nation and threatened to tear it apart. The civil rights movement explores the dramatic quest for African-American equality in vivid detail, from post-Civil War reconstruction through the revolutionary 1960s and the subsequent rise of Black power."
