  • "The struggle for racial equality in the North has been a footnote in most books about civil rights in America. This book is a monumental new account of the abiding quest for justice in the norther states, and of how the intense northern struggle differed from and was inspired by the fight down South. The author's panoramic view sweeps from the 1920s to the present- more than eighty years of the most decisive years in American history. He uncovers the forgotten stories of battles to open up lunch counters, beaches, and movie theaters in the North; the untold history of struggles against Jim Crow schools in northern towns; the dramatic story of racial conflict in northern cities and suburbs; and the long and tangled histories of integration and black power. Appearing throughout these tumultuous tales of bigotry and resistance are the people who propelled progress. Filled with unforgettable characters and riveting incidents, and making use of information and accounts both public and private, this book creates an indelible history of African American civil rights. -- from Book Jacket"
