Review Quotes: Here's a fascinating two-pronged perspective on the Civil Rights movement beginning in the mid-1950s: the activists', initiating with the lynching in 1955 of Emmett Till; and the segregationists', starting with the Ku Klux Klan's reaction to the Supreme Court's ruling on Brown v. Board of Education. The Split History of the Civil Rights Movement doesn't make for light reading, but even for kids, the important issues never do (ages 9-14).-- "Working Mother"
