These women supported the civil rights movement but have been largely overlooked in favor of more visible, outspoken, and radical activists…
Blue Texas
Blue Texas wonderfully illustrates the scholarly re-centering of coalition building in the civil rights movement. By placing African and Mexican activists and progressive whites at the center of the struggle for a more democratic society in the Lone Star State, Max Krochmal demonstrates that this coalition was focused on destroying Jim Crow not only to produce an integrated society but also to gain labor and political rights and economic justice.…

Such has been the case with the views on and/ or role of Douglass in American foreign policy. While Douglass has been portrayed as abolitionist, writer, journalist, and advocate of the civil rights of blacks as well as women, very little has been said of Douglass's ex…
