A Divided Union: Civil Rights In The USA, 1945-74
Muhtasari
Black American soldiers returned in 1945 from a war fought against a regime built on racial hierarchy, to a country where in much of the South they could not vote, could not eat in the same restaurants as white Americans and could not send their children to the same schools. The gap between what the United States said about itself and how it treated a tenth of its citizens is the engine of this depth study.
You will study the Red Scare and McCarthyism, the legal and grassroots campaigns that dismantled segregation, the argument within the movement about non-violence and Black Power, the student, women's and anti-war movements, and the Watergate scandal that brought down a president. Throughout, the people forcing the change are the ones making the choices.
