<p>How did a relatively powerless minority bring down the entire system of racial segregation in the United States within a single generation? </p><p></p><p>This brand new edition of <i>The Civil Rights Movement</i> chronicles the growth of the mass movement from its origins after the Second World War to the destruction of segregated society, before charting the movement¿s path through the 20<sup>th</sup> century. It challenges the view that the Movement died in 1968 and that coalitions with other groups damaged the gains of the African American community. Fully revised throughout, it now includes in-depth analysis of Barack Obama¿s presidency, further exploration of cultural and gender history, and an examination of contemporary issues, such as the Black Lives Matter movement and the 2016 election. </p>
