Beyond Civil Rights: A New Day of Equality

Humphrey describes American progress in human rights from the 1940s through the 1960s from his specific perspective as a mayor, senator, and vice president who was involved in a number of historic political events in the history of the civil rights movement. Humphrey also goes beyond simply providing a history of the time period by analyzing the movement for civil rights in terms of how it must change from a movement about fighting against discrimination to a movement about fighting for equality for all persons.
