Description: Key events of the Civil Rights Movement will be brought to life in this exciting and informative new series. The year 1963 brought both violence and a speech that resonates today. In June two Black students were blocked from registering for classes at the University of Alabama. Civil rights leaders responded with a historic protest. In August 250,000 people gathered for the March on Washington as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his I Have a Dream speech. The following month a bomb planted by the Ku Klux Klan killed four girls at a church in Alabama. The extent of racism and discrimination was finally laid bare as public sentiment for the movement swelled and change now seemed inevitable. About THE Series: The years from 1955 to 1965 are at the heart of the civil rights movement from the Montgomery bus boycott to the Voting Rights Act. The contributions of key activists including Rosa Parks Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. John Lewis Barbara Nash and Malcolm X are part of the narrative. Demonstrations of passive resistance and legal challenges were often met with bloodshed and violence against Black Americans fighting to end segregation and discrimination. Yet the courage of those yearning for equal opportunities under the law ultimately produced legislation affirming that every American should have the same constitutional rights regardless of color race or gender. With stunning photographs throughout and rich back matter each book focuses on a specific year and chronologically follows the detailed events that occurred and the changes that took place.
