The Long Civil Rights Movement gives participants the materials, perspectives, and pedagogical approaches necessary to transform their teaching of the civil rights movement into an alternative, and much longer, view of the black freedom struggle. Using documents that reveal the activism of local people and grassroots campaigns, especially the efforts of female organizers, this workshop will explore how the civil rights movement had a longer duration, wider geography, and broader set of goals than most textbooks present.
