These Local Movements Had Varying Agendas And Organizational Development, Geared To The Particular Circumstances, Resources, And Regions In Which They Operated. Local Civil Rights Activists Frequently Worked In Tandem With The National Civil Rights Movement But Often Functioned Autonomously Fromand Sometimes Even At Odds Withthe National Movement.Together, The Pathbreaking Essays In Groundwork Teach Us That Local Civil Rights Activity Was A Vibrant Component Of The Larger Civil Rights Movement, And Contributed Greatly To Its National Successes.
