Putting the Movement Back into Civil Rights Teaching seeks to empower America's youth to become creators, not just consumers, of change. This award-winning, groundbreaking resource guide is the largest compendium ever of materials and lessons about the Civil Right’s Movement. The book addresses the growing divide based on race, gender and class, both in the U.S. and internationally.

Putting the Movement Back into Civil Rights Teaching makes connections to labor, prisoner-rights, Native Americans, Chicanos and Asian Americans. It has been awarded the Philip C. Chinn Book of the Year award by the National Association for Multicultural Education and won Honorable Mention in the Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book award.
