HIST 326 Long Civil Rights Movement
This course broadens the traditional framework of the Civil Rights Movement, beginning with calls for economic, social, cultural, and political equality during Reconstruction. The course surveys the intersection of race, civil rights discourse, and American history during periods such as World War I, the New Deal, World War II, the "Classical Phase" of the King years, and finally, the unfinished work of Civil Rights since 1968. Themes and issues include competing civil rights strategies, the role of gender and race within the movement, and the success and failure endured throughout the Long Civil Rights Movement.
