Discussion: What happened next? The post Civil Rights era

Professor Tony Badger, Professor Joe Street and Professor Brian Ward discuss the African-American Civil Rights movement and examine different ways we might interpret the significance of key individuals, groups, institutions and events that played a role in its development and progress.

In this final section the activities of the key individuals and some of the organisations are examined for their impact in the years following the Civil Rights era and what impact or legacy they have left today. How successful were the events of the Civil Rights era?
