The Civil Rights Era: Origins and Development of National Policy

Hugh Davis Graham

#2421 of 3,809 books · #798 in History

Shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize for History (1991).

This is a story about a rare event in America: a radical shift in national social policy. The social movements took hold and spread at the grass roots, but the policy revolution that responded to them was made in Washington. This is a study of national policy elites, their behavior and motives, their options and decisions and the consequences of those decisions.
