Through this broader scope, students learn about women's activism, white liberals and moderates, local initiatives, environmental racism, and black political empowerment.  \u003cp\u003eTwelve essays are arranged chronologically and topically, each with supporting primary documents, a detailed timeline, and further reading lists.
