Civil rights

More than three decades after the landmark Supreme Court decision on desegregation, Brown v. Board of Education, Thomas Sowell examines the actual outcomes of the civil rights movement. This book takes a factual look at who has benefited and who has been disadvantaged, scrutinizing the initial assumptions behind the civil rights revolution. It questions which of these assumptions have proven valid over time and which have led to unintended consequences for those they aimed to help.
