Description: This is a collection of essential materials for the study of the early development of the Civil Rights Movement - concerned with the issues of lynching, segregation, race riots, and employment discrimination.
Notes: Franklin D. Roosevelt assumed the presidency of a nation in which white supremacy was a significant cultural and political force. Many states denied or severely restricted voting rights to African Americans and used their political power to further diminish their status and to deny them the benefits and opportunities of society.
