Georgia and the Modern Civil Rights Movement
This title explores the role the state of Georgia and prominent Georgians played in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and 1970s.

More than five hundred Indians, many of them women and children, perished in the aftermath of the conflict; and thirty-eight Dakota warriors were executed on one gallows, the largest mass execution ever in North America. The horror of such wholesale violence has long obscured what really happen...
