The Civil Rights Movement

The civil rights movement was a time of social and cultural change for the country and the city of Detroit. An advance towards racial equality brought new laws, leaders, and social justice movements to prominence in the years following World War II through the second half of the twentieth century. These materials from Special Collections reflect the work, dedication, perseverance, insight, and realities of the social justice and literary leaders and movements.
