The book traces the actions, experiences and achievements of those involved in the civil rights movement in the USA from the mid-1950s. It explains how the movement challenged segregation and discrimination in the southern states, using boycotts, marches and other forms of non-violent resistence. It ends by looking at its legacy and also reflects on how the fight for equality continues today.
