Civil Rights

From Frederick Douglass to Nelson Mandela, Great Speeches in History: The Civil Rights Movement chronicles the voices that led-and continue to lead--the struggle for civil rights in America. Covering one hundred and fifty years, predating even the Emancipation Proclamation, this anthology includes the speeches of slaves and doctors, men and women, the privileged and the self-made. Although largely of one voice regarding civil rights, radically different ideas, tactics and strategies are presented.
