Civil Rights Activism in 1960s Virginia

Simon Hall

Leeds University

The article explores civil rights activism in Virginia during the 1960s— namely, the NAACP's response to direct-action protests in the state, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's voter registration efforts, and the grassroots organizing of the Virginia Students' Civil Rights Committee. It uses these case studies to shed new light on important questions being debated by civil rights scholars—including the role of the NAACP, the relationship between the local and the national, the origins of Black Power, and the impact of the war in Vietnam on the civil rights movement.

Key Words: civil rights • Virginia • Black Power
