\"\"<\/a>This coming week will be three class session focused on the movement for black civil rights. There’s a lot of reading; some of this will be familiar territory for you, and hopefully some of it will also be new. Don’t assume you already know the story – there’s more to it than typically shows up on a “Black History Month” bulletin board. Look for the parts you didn’t know before. Resist the urge to simplify or reduce the movement to a few major leaders — remember, it was a decades-long, grassroots effort involving southerners and northerners, blacks and whites, journalists and politicians, preachers and domestic servants, sharecroppers and labor organizers, singers and athletes. The movement and its leaders have become a powerful American myth–but look for ways to understand the movement’s reality, not the myth. <\/p>\n

Mon 2\/27:<\/strong> Phase I (up to about 1963).
\nReading: HOT 93-116 (Brown, Declaration, Sitkoff, Moody). Bring the HOT book to class. You may want to read the relevant parts of Moss’s MO also – check the index for this topic and brush up on the main outlines of the story. <\/p>\n

Wed 2\/29:<\/strong> Congress Day 4. We will take up some Great Society legislation and put the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in Congressional context. <\/p>\n
