SUMMARY:Before the Movement
DESCRIPTION:The Baton Foundation will host a conversation about the hidden history of Black civil rights. This program is free to the public\, but registration is required. \nAbout the Book\nIn a brilliant rethinking of civil rights\, Dylan C. Penningroth’s Before the Movement: The Hidden History of Black Civil Rights (Liveright Publishing Corporation\, 2023) changes the way we think about Black history itself. Interweaving his own family history with long-forgotten documents found in county courthouse basements\, he reveals how African Americans thought about\, talked about\, and used the law long before the marches of the 1960s. In a world that denied their constitutional rights\, Black people built lives for themselves through the “rights of everyday use.” Before the Movement recovers a rich vision of Black life–a vision allied with\, yet distinct from\, the freedom struggle. Please use this link to purchase the book. \nAbout the Speakers\nDylan C.
