Gr 5-8-Tracing the ratification of the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, through the abolition of slavery, the desegregation of the South, and beyond, this book shows mainly the progress of the fight for justice for African Americans. Final chapters discuss other groups and the results of their movements for equality that provide legal protections for all Americans. The topic is covered in more depth in the McKissacks' The Civil Rights Movement in America from 1865 to the Present (Children's, 1991). This shorter volume covers both historical and contemporary situations, such as the activities of militias and the motives behind the Million Man March, and gives readers a framework for further inquiry.-Janet Woodward, Franklin High School, Seattle, WA
