Board of Education -- We were making history: students, sharecroppers, and sanitation workers in the Memphis freedom movement -- Battling the plantation mentality: from the Civil Rights Act to the sanitation strike.African American freedom is often defined in terms of emancipation and civil rights legislation, but it did not arrive with the stroke of a pen or the rap of a gavel. No single event makes this more plain, Laurie Green argues, than the 1968 Memphis sanitation workers' strike, which culminated in the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Exploring the notion of ""freedom"" in postwar Memphis, Green demonstrates that the civil rights movement was battling an ongoing ""plantation mentality"" based on race, gender, and power that permeated southern culture long before--and even after--the groundJohn Hope Franklin series in African American history and culture.African AmericansCivil rightsTennesseeMemphisHistory20th centuryAfrican AmericansSegregationTennesseeMemphisHistory20th centuryCivil rights movementsTennesseeMemphisHistory20th centuryAfrican AmericansTennesseeMemphisHistory20th centuryRacismTennesseeMemphisHistory20th centuryMemphis (Tenn.)Race relationsHistory20th centuryMemphis (Tenn.)History20th centuryElectronic books.African AmericansCivil rightsHistoryAfrican AmericansSegregationHistoryCivil rights movementsHistoryAfrican AmericansHistoryRacismHistory323.1196/0730768190904Green Laurie Boush932510MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456371703321Battling the plantation mentality2098432UNINA01450nam a22003251i 450099100034805970753620040112100359.0040204s1985 it |||||||||||||||||ita 8873800718b12603119-39ule_instARCHE-061032ExLDip.
