We tend to associate the concept of “civil rights” with the decade of the 1960s. Yet Between 1940 and 1960, patterns of American racism that had been in place since the 1880s began to break down. In an essay, explore 1)the shape of antiracist activity between 1940 and 1960. What sorts of political and cultural activism was taking place during these 20 years? Where did it meet with success? What problems during this time proved insurmountable? Finally, if you feel prepared to do so, suggest reasons why the activism of the 1940s and 1950s has tended to be forgotten in favor of the decades of the 1960s and 1970s
