The Civil Rights Trail offers a vivid glimpse into the story of Black Americans' fight for freedom and equality. Follow along as this book guides you to the places, people, and events that made the movement. Whether you're embarking on a road trip through the South or exploring a city for a weekend, get to know the voices, stories, music, and flavors that powered the fight for civil rights. Walk in Martin Luther King Jr.'s footsteps, take a seat at a lunch counter where sit-ins took place, and ride in the spirit of the Freedom Riders. Shop for local goods at Black-owned businesses, and dig in to heaping plates of soul food. Visit museums that connect our present to the past-then have a grown 'n' sexy night out in the birthplace of the blues. Moon U.S. Civil Rights Trail is packed with profiles of national leaders and local heroes, helpful timelines, and the own words of the people who transformed our country. Book jacket.
