How Civil Rights Were Made—and Remade—By Black Communities In the Jim Crow South ...Middle East

Looking back on these realities, it is tempting to imagine Black southerners as inhabiting a kind of law-free zone, shut out from the law and afraid to go anywhere near the courthouse, and that the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s was the culmination of a centuries-long struggle toward freedom and full citizenship—to galvanize the power of the federal government
