American Indian Civil Rights Handbook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781249359319)

The civil rights movement of the United States was a struggle to bring equality
under the law to all Americans. To achieve these goals, groups would partake in acts
of civil resistance aimed at achieving change by nonviolence. The movement has had a
lasting impact on American society through success in increasing the social and legal
acceptance of civil rights and triumph in exposing the extensiveness of racism.

These struggles and strides to better the US social structure are seen in the reports
of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, documenting new policies, detailing problems
with the current laws, and describing new tactics to use to solve these issues. This
