Hope and History is an eloquent, informed and impassioned call to remember and share the story for the expansion of American democracy known as 'the civil rights movement.' Drawing upon his extensive experience as participant-historian in the movement, Harding focuses on the profound significance of the post-World War II freedom struggle for our lives as citizens today. He helps readers see the lively connections between the modern African-American freedom movement and the struggles for democracy that have burst across the globe. In a powerful and poetic style, Hope and History provides both knowledge and inspiration.
