Sumario:"It's time for a textbook blending American history and American law. The key events and landmark cases found in these pages provide a candid look at civil rights in America -- pitting the American ideals of All men are created equal and Equal justice under law against a powerful enemy, white supremacy.

Clear, concise and informative -- the lessons here can be taught in a single semester in a Civil Rights class or in tandem with an American History class.
