Are civil rights for everyone or are they just for black people? The definition reads like they are for everyone, but everywhere you look they are used exclusively for blacks. Don’t we all need to have civil rights? If we keep splitting up blacks and whites, how will we ever learn how to get along with one another?

This book presents the Civil Rights movement simply but in context, and connects it to the unfinished work we have to do today.
