YACivil Rights Movement series.
These books are informative and well structured, and each includes a thorough set of source notes and appended resources. The formal, fact-filled exposition is occasionally interrupted by jarring omniscient narration. Many photographs and archival reproductions (some not well integrated on the pages) in addition to personal recollections help provide context and make clear the civil rights movement's relevance today. Timeline, websites. Bib., ind. Review covers these Civil Rights Movement titles: The Murder of Emmett Till, Selma and the Voting Rights Act, and The Trial of the Scottsboro Boys.
