Not in My Backyard: Executive Order 12,898 and Title VI as Tools for Achieving Environmental Justice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781249328513)

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 2 collection of publications range from historic documents published in the heart of the movement to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bigotry and Violence on American College Campuses, Enforcing Religious Freedom in Prison, and Stereotyping of Minorities in the News Media. This publication is part of this collection.
