Rhetoric, Religion, and the Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1965:

Rhetoric, Religion, and the Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1965: Volume 1 (Studies in Rhetoric and Religion)

The Civil Rights Movement succeeded in large measure because of rhetorical appeals grounded in the Judeo-Christian religion. While movement leaders often used America's founding documents and ideals to depict Jim Crow's contradictory ways, the language and lessons of both the Old and New Testaments were often brought to bear on many civil rights events and issuesâ€•from local desegregation to national policy matters. This volume chronicles how national movement leaders and local activists moved a nation to live up to the biblical ideals it often professed but infrequently practiced.
