Introduction
Activists of the modern Civil Rights Movement inherited a revolution that began over 300 years earlier. While the players and the work that they did varied, the issues were, as previously, ones of equality, freedom, and justice. This struggle in America is never-ending. We acknowledge the overlap in this pursuit among different racial and ethnic groups.
