Sharing the Prize: The Economics of the Civil Rights Revolution in the American South
Sharing the Prize The Economics of the Civil Rights Revolution in the American South
Author: Gavin Wright
Southern bus boycotts and lunch counter sit-ins were famous acts of civil disobedience but were also demands for jobs in the very services being denied blacks. Gavin Wright shows that the civil rights struggle was of economic benefit to all parties: the wages of southern blacks increased dramatically but not at the expense of southern whites.
