Title: Americans All
Description: "Diana Selig tells the neglected story of the cultural gifts movement, which flourished between the world wars. Progressive activists encouraged pluralism in homes, schools, and churches across the country. Countering racist trends and the melting pot theory of Americanization, they championed the idea of diversity. Yet they were unable to address the entrenched forms of discrimination and disfranchisement faced by African Americans in particular."--Jacket.
