SUMMARY:National Issues\, Local Struggles\: The Civil Rights Movement in the Ohio Valley and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Although national in scope\, the twentieth century struggl
 e for black equality depended on the efforts of local women and men co
 mmitted to securing basic human rights for all Americans within their 
 own neighborhoods\, towns\, cities\, and states. This was a struggle t
 hat began long before the sit-ins and protest marches of the 1960s and
  it continues into the present day. The Filson’s spring 2012 public 
 conference\, “National Issues\, Local Struggles\: The Civil Rights M
 ovement in the Ohio Valley and Beyond\,” explores various strands of
  the struggle for black civil and political equality\, moving beyond a
  top-down focus on the national movement. The conference brings togeth
 er leading civil rights scholars and Louisville activists to explore h
 ow local people—black and white\, women and men—fought for racial 
 justice over many years and together helped transform the United State
 s.
