Better Day Coming recounts the endeavors of black Americans to achieve civil rights and equality in a society that, after the collapse of Reconstruction, sanctioned racial segregation, racial discrimination, and white political supremacy. Providing a detailed account of the civil rights movement and the leadership of Martin Luther King, Jr., Better Day Coming explains how black Southerners staged an open revolt against white supremacy that shook America to its foundations in the 1950s and 1960s.
