Sitting in and Speaking Out - Student Movements in the American South, 1960-1970

Explores student movements in the South to grasp the nature of activism in the region during the turbulent 1960s. Examining the activism of black and white students, Jeffrey Turner shows that the South responded to national developments but that the response had its own trajectory - one that was rooted in race.
