OF federal protection of civil

classic in civil rights literature!

the lives of his fellow-ci citizens
will want to read this book.
THE history Of the civil rights
legislation Of the Reconstruction
period (since declared unconsti-
tutionaD is reviewed, and the
present status Of civil rights of
individuals or groups were abri-
dyed by federal, state, or local
governments, or by private in
dividuals, the author develops
his thesis that more and better
protection for the citizen is
needed, and that federal agencies
tor this purpose should be i'm
plemented for broader and more,
effective action.
The ablishment of the
Civil Rights Section Of the De

its defeats. all are available le-
gal weapons, and for the more

This is a revised dition of the
