Better Day Coming : Blacks and Equality, 1890-2000 - Thryft

Struggle and resilience in black Americans' history.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Civil Rights Movement and black Americans' struggle for equality in a racially segregated society. Fairclough's meticulous account of events provides readers with a deeper understanding of the many challenges faced by black Americans and their tenacity in the face of adversity. The most unique aspect of this book is the balanced account that Fairclough provides. Although he acknowledges the significant achievements of the Civil Rights movement, he also addresses the ongoing issues of racial and economic inequality. Readers will appreciate the author's attention to detail and his ability to provide a comprehensive history of one of the most significant social movements in American history.

Description

From the end of postwar Reconstruction in the South to an analysis of the rise and fall of Black Power, acclaimed historian Adam Fairclough presents a straightforward synthesis of the century-long struggle of black Americans to achieve civil rights and equality in the United States. Beginning with Ida B. Wells and the campaign against lynching in the 1890s, Fairclough chronicles the tradition of protest that led to the formation of the NAACP, Booker T. Washington and the strategy of accommodation, Marcus Garvey and the push for black nationalism, through to Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and beyond. Throughout, Fairclough presents a judicious interpretation of historical events that balances the achievements of the Civil Rights Movement against the persistence of racial and economic inequalities.
