| Recent studies of the modern civil rights movement have moved beyond an examination of the public leaders and major organizations that were the focus of media attention in the 1950s and 1960s. These new works instead look to indigenous grass-roots leaders and locally organized groups to add depth, breadth, and complexity to our understanding of the movement that forever changed our nation.
