Over  one hundred images, some of which have never been previously published,  reveal connections between the local and national movements and document the  actions of Western coalitions, religious leaders, Hollywood stars, and  concerned citizens. Drawn from  the Tom \u0026amp; Ethel Bradley Center at California State University, Northridge  (CSUN), the Getty Research Institute, and other Southern California  collections-including prints by Harry Adams, Howard  Bingham, Charles Brittin, Joe Flowers, Vera Jackson, and  Charles Williams-this unprecedented volume presents less familiar but  essential stories about American progress toward social justice. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369043603829,"sku":"9781606069899","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781606069899","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
