  • Traveler's Guide to the Civil Rights Movement

    In 2004, the United States will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. As our country begins a national retrospective of the civil rights movement, here is the perfect book to help explore the long struggle toward racial equality.

  • Students on Strike: Jim Crow, Civil Rights, Brown, and Me (National Geographic-memoirs)

    John Stokes has waited more than 50 years to give his eyewitness account of "The Manhattan Project." This was the name he and a group of fellow students gave their strike at R.R. Moton High School that helped to end separate schooling for blacks and whites, not only in his home state of Virginia, but throughout America. Told in Stokes’ own words, the story vividly conveys how his passion for learning helped set in motion one of the most powerful movements in American history, resulting in the desegregation of schools—and life—in the United States. As a child tending crops on the family farm, John Stokes never dreamed that one day he would be at the center of the Civil Rights Movement. Yet, on April 23, 1951, he and his fellow students walked out of the school and into the history books... [Read More]

  • Alabama's Civil Rights Trail: An Illustrated Guide to the Cradle of Freedom (Alabama The Forge of History)

    No other state has embraced and preserved its civil rights history more thoroughly than Alabama. Nor is there a place where that history is richer.
