Description
Covering the period since the onset of the civil rights era, the Civil Rights in Black and Brown oral history interviews with African American, Mexican American, and white activists located throughout the large, diverse state adds new depth to the study of “black/brown” and multicultural relations past and present. The project recovers the role of local people in the black civil rights and Chicano/a movements in Texas and sheds new light on the relationships among local, state, and national actors. It provides fresh insights into inter-ethnic collaboration, conflict, and everything in between—all grounded in the lived experiences of the grassroots organizers and participants in the two intersecting freedom struggles.
