The Split History of the Civil Rights Movement

(4) 4-6 Perspectives Flip Books series. Each volume is packaged as two books in one, and the series gimmick presents purported opposing views on the titular movements. Thus the "Activists' Perspective" is followed (on the flip side) by "Segregationists' Perspective." Both views are relayed in the same fact-driven voice; overall these are solid discussions. Archival photos and sidebars support the texts. The small-size font may be off-putting to some readers. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Perspectives Flip Books titles: The Split History of the Civil Rights Movement and The Split History of the Women's Suffrage Movement.
