A More Beautiful and Terrible History: The Uses and Misuses of Civil Rights History by Jeanne Theoharis

4.0

A highly-interesting, accessible and important book which introduced me to the complexity of the civil rights movement in the US (North, West and South). It definitely prompts further research and left me both flabbergasted that much of the movement (and contribution of many individuals and groups) had been ignored or conveniently distilled to certain individuals as well as inspiring that even teenagers and communities who came together despite overwhelming odds and opposition can bring about change.
