From Emancipation through Reconstruction and Jim Crow, the protest era of the 1960s and '70s, and current-day activism, material culture has been integral to the goals and tactics of the Civil Rights Movement.
During decades of sit-ins, marches, political campaigns, boycotts, and demonstrations, activists have deployed these nonviolent weapons as key tools in the fight against racism, oppression, and violence.
Making the Movement presents more than two hundred colour photographs of these objects alongside the stories of the activists, organisations, and initiatives that propelled the fight for justice and freedom. This detail-rich narrative of the Civil Rights Movement is a must-read for anyone seeking to learn about Black history in the United States and about strategies to combat racism and the structures that support it.
