Before Browndetails the ferment in civil rights that took place across the South before the momentous Brown vs. Board of Educationdecision in 1954. This collection refutes the notion that the movement began with the Supreme Court decision, and suggests, rather, that the movement originated in the 1930s and earlier, spurred by the Great Depression and, later, World War IIevents that would radically shape the course of politics in the South and the nation into the next century. This work explores the growth of the movement through its various manifestationsthe activities of politicians, civil rights leaders, religious figures, labor unionists, and grass-roots activiststhroughout the 1940s and 1950s. It discusses the critical leadership roles played by women and offers a new perspective on the relationship between the NAACP and the Communist Party. Before Brownshows clearly that, as the drive toward racial equality advanced and national political attitudes shifted, the validity of white supremacy came increasingly into question. Institutionalized racism in the South had always offered white citizens material advantages by preserving their economic superiority and making them feel part of a privileged class. When these rewards were threatened by the civil rights movement, a white backlash occurred.
