Hale\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story of activist youth in America is usually framed around the Vietnam War, the counterculture, and college campuses, focusing primarily on college students in the 1960s and 1970s. But a remarkably effective tradition of Black high school student activism in the civil rights era has gone understudied. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1951, students at R. R. Moton High School in rural Virginia led a student walkout and contacted the law firm of Hill, Martin, and Robinson in Richmond, Virginia, to file one of the five pivotal court cases that comprised the \u003ci\u003eBrown v. Board of Education\u003c\/i\u003e decision. In 1960, twenty-four Burke High School students in Charleston, South Carolina, organized the first direct action, nonviolent protest in the city at the downtown S. H. Kress department store. Months later in the small town of McComb, Mississippi, an entire high school walked out in protest of the conviction of a student who sat-in on a local Woolworth lunch counter in 1961, guiding the agenda for the historic Freedom Summer campaign of 1964. \u003ci\u003eA New Kind of Youth\u003c\/i\u003e brings high school activism into greater focus, illustrating how Black youth supported liberatory social and political movements and inspired their elders across the South. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 348\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.78 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 06, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53756860236109,"sku":"9781469671390","price":59.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/N002UjBhcGs5WjFCaXZLNFRyUjJPZz09.webp?v=1776754628","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/a-new-kind-of-youth-historically-black-high-schools-and-southern-student-activism-1920-1975-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
