First published for the fortieth anniversary of the March on Washington, this Library of America volume along with its companion chronicles over thirty tumultuous years in the struggle of African-Americans for freedom and equal rights.The first volume follows the rise of the modern civil rights movement from A. Philip Randolphs defiant 1941 call for a protest march on Washington to the summer of 1963 and the eve of the march that finally shook the nations conscience.
