Historic progress : public accommodations and voting rights in the Johnson years -- "Token beginnings" : the battle to desegregate southernschools and workplaces, 1965-1968 -- A fragmented crusade? : the civilrights struggle in the aftermath of the King assassination, 1968-1970 -- Defiance and compliance : the breakdown of freedom of choice in the south's schools -- The busing years : school desegregation in the wake of Swann -- Home has changed : southern race relations in the early 1970s -- Paving the way for full participation : civil rights in the Ford years -- Mixed outcomes : civil rights in the Carter years -- "No substantial progress" : blacks, the economy, and racial polarization in the late 1970s -- The Reagan counterrevolution -- From Bush to Bush : the complexities of civil rights -- The aftermath : from history to memory -- Poverty and progress : four decades of change.

Martin Luther King's 1965 address from Montgomery, Alabama, the center of much racial conflict at the time and the location of the well-publicized bus boycott a decade earlier, is often considered by historiansto be the culmination of the civil rights era in American history. In his momentousspeech, King declared that segregation was "on its deathbed" and that the movement had already achieved significant milestones. Although the civil rights movement had won many battles in the strugglefor racial equality by the mid-1960s, including legislation to guarantee black voting rights and to desegregate public accommodations, the fight to implement the new laws was just starting. In reality, King's speech in Montgomery represented a new beginning rather than a conclusion to the movement, a fact that King acknowledged in the address. This book begins where many histories of the civil rights movement end, with King's triumphant march from the iconic battleground of Selma to Montgomery. The authors focus on events in the South following the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act. It examines the social, economic, and political implications of these laws in the decades following their passage, discussing the empowerment of black southerners, white resistance, accommodation and acceptance, and the nation's political will. The book also provides a history of the period of race relations during the presidential administrations of Ford, Carter, Reagan, and both George H.W. and George W. Bush. Ending with the electionof President Barack Obama, this study will influence contemporary historiography on the civil rights movement.
