Few states underwent a more dramatic transformation with regard to civil rights than Michigan did. In 1948, the Michigan Committee on Civil Rights characterized the state of civil rights in Michigan as presenting "an ugly picture." Twenty years later, Michigan was a leader among the states in civil rights legislation. "Expanding the Frontiers of Civil Rights" documents this important shift in state level policy and makes clear that civil rights in Michigan embraced not only blacks but women, the elderly, native Americans, migrant workers, and the physically handicapped. 410 0$aGreat Lakes books. 606 $aCivil rights$zMichigan$xHistory$y20th century 610 $aHuman rights, civil rights 615 0$aCivil rights$xHistory 676 $a342.774/085/09 700 $aFine$b Sidney$f1920-2009,$01168426 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524861403321 996 $a"Expanding the Frontiers of Civil Rights"$92721020 997 $aUNINA
