Making the Movement: How Activists Fought for Civil Rights with Buttons, Flyers, Pins, and Posters by Silas Munro, David L. Crane

lattelibrarian's review

4.0

A well-researched an insightful collection of art and memorabilia used to propel the Civil Rights Movement. Crane takes us on a long journey, from abolition to the Black Panther Party, on the use of pins, buttons, posters, flyers, pamphlets, and the like. With high resolution photographs of these items, Crane shows us just how integral these were into making the movement, maintaining the movement, and ensuring that there was unity across members and supporters of various calls to action.
