Unsung Heroes of the Civil Rights Movement and Thereafter offers students the opportunity to learn more about important and often overlooked figures of the Civil Rights Movement. This book features chapters on the Saint Augustine Four, the tragically murdered Emmett Till, the legacy-preserving Rachel Robinson, the stubbornly-seated Irene Morgan Kirkaldy, and the tireless leader Stokely Carmichael. Each chapter concludes with a set of discussion questions to deepen the conversation about these figures and their lasting impact on modern society.
