The term civil rights refers to the personal liberties and legal rights that all individuals enjoy as citizens or residents of a country. Unfortunately, throughout much of American history, African Americans were prevented from exercising the same rights and enjoying the same privileges as other Americans. Finally, in the middle of the twentieth century, the Civil Rights Movement began challenging the laws and social practices that left African American as second-class citizens. The books in the CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS series will provide readers with a greater understanding of several of the brave advocates for justice and fair treatment who helped blacks achieve greater freedom in American society. Each book is illustrated with numerous photographs. The up-to-date information in each book is supplemented with a glossary of key terms, guides to additional resources for more information, scan-able links to educational videos, text-dependent questions and report ideas.
