Reprinted here, the Southern Manifesto formally stated opposition to the landmark United State Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education, and the emergent civil rights movement. This statement allowed the white South to prevent Brown's immediate fullscale implementation and, for nearly two decades, set the slothful timetable and glacial pace of public school desegregation. The Southern Manifesto also provided the Southern Congressional Delegation with the means to stymie federal voting rights legislation, so that the dismantling of Jim Crow could be managed largely on white southern terms. In the wake of the Brown decision that declared public school segregation unconstitutional, seminal events in the early stages of the civil rights movement--like the Emmett Till lynching, the Montgomery bus boycott, and the Autherine Lucy riots at the University of Alabama brought the struggle for black freedom to national attention. Orchestrated by United States Senator Richard Brevard Russell Jr. of Georgia, the southern congressional delegation in general, and the United States Senate's Southern Caucus in particular, fought vigorously and successfully to counter the initial successes of civil rights workers and maintain Jim Crow. The South's defense of white supremacy culminated with this most notorious statement of opposition to desegregation. The Southern Manifesto: Massive Resistance and the Fight to Preserve Segregation narrates this single worst episode of racial demagoguery in modern American political history and considers the statement's impact upon both the struggle for black freedom and the larger racial dynamics of postwar America"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aSegregation in education$xLaw and legislation$zSouthern States$xHistory 606 $aDiscrimination in education$xLaw and legislation$zSouthern States$xHistory 606 $aCivil rights movements$zSouthern States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSegregation in education$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aDiscrimination in education$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aSouthern States$xRace relations$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSegregation in education$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aDiscrimination in education$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aCivil rights movements$xHistory 615 0$aSegregation in education$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aDiscrimination in education$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 676 $a344.73/07980975 700 $aDay$b John Kyle$0876502 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463751203321 996 $aThe Southern Manifesto$91957214 997 $aUNINA
