Description 1 online resource (xi, 163 pages) : illustrations Summary Dr. Jans-Thomas revisits an important location in the Civil Rights movement and walks through various places along the march from Selma to Birmingham, Alabama. Her stories are largely anecdotal, but the overall portrait she paints of the towns are vivid because she outlines how the culture has changed since the 1950?s and 60?s. The portrayal of the towns is suitable, not only for introductory college students, but advanced high school students as well. The book reads like a historical narrative and a sociological field study, and its importance derives from the juxtaposition of past struggles Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 142-160) and index Notes Print version record Subject Jans-Thomas, Susan SUBJECT Jans-Thomas, Susan fast Selma to Montgomery Rights March (1965 : Selma, Ala.) http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr2005026949 Selma to Montgomery Rights March fast Subject African Americans -- Civil rights -- Alabama -- Selma -- History -- 20th century African Americans -- Suffrage -- Alabama -- Selma -- History -- 20th century Civil rights movements -- Alabama -- Selma -- History -- 20th century POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Political Freedom & Security -- Civil Rights.
