Although slavery was illegal at the beginning of the twentieth century, segregation was prevalent, especially in the South. Through many uprisings, protests, and demonstrations, segregation was finally abolished and civil rights were established for people of varying colors, races, and genders. Today, we celebrate diversity in our nation because of the Civil Rights Movement of the twentieth century.

After the passage of sweeping civil rights and voting rights legislation in 1964 and 1965, the civil rights movement stood poised to build on considerable momentum. In a famous speech at Howard University in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared that victory in the next battle for civil rights would be measured in ""equal results"" rather than equal rights and opportunities. It seemed that for a brief moment the White House and champions of racial equality shared the same objectives and priorities. Finding common ground proved elusive, however, in a climate of growing social and political

Peu de figures universellement célébrées sont aussi mal connues que Martin Luther King Jr. La lutte pour les droits civiques et l’égalité des Noirs dont le pasteur baptiste prit la tête est remémorée comme un appel à la fraternité et à l’unité nationale que l’Amérique sut entendre. Ce récit édifiant a considérablement aseptisé la force révolutionnaire de sa pensée et la brutalité de l’oppression contre laquelle il s’insurgeait. Qui se souvient qu’à peine un an après avoir reçu le prix Nobel de la paix, King déclara que son rêve était devenu un cauchemar en raison de l’enracinement du système d’exploitation capitaliste ? La fin de la ségrégation institutionnelle en 1964 n’était à ses yeux qu’une étape. L’ultime phase de son combat, qui culmina avec la « Campagne des pauvres » et que son assassinat en 1968 laissa inachevée, fut quasiment effacée de la mémoire des États-Unis et avec elle le sens profond de son engagement. Penseur de la justice sociale, Martin Luther King opéra une extraordinaire synthèse entre christianisme, liturgie noire, non-violence, désobéissance civile et marxisme. C’est ce penseur avant-gardiste et radical à la postérité édulcorée que cet ouvrage entend faire redécouvrir en l’inscrivant dans une tradition de dissidence américaine trop souvent ignorée.
