Subject: A combination of extensive archival research, interviews with activist, and quantitative historical data, ?Freedom Is a Constant Struggle? provides new insights into the civil rights struggle, and it presents a much broader theory to explain whether and how movements have enduring impacts on politics and society. The activities of white supremacists in Mississippi are explored in detail and reveal how white repression and intimidation sparked black activism and simultaneously undermined the movement?s ability to achieve far-reaching goals. From this complex history, the author shows how the civil rights movement built innovative organizations and campaigns that empowered local leadership and had a lasting legacy in Mississippi and beyond.
