in my never-ending pursuit of "higher education" , I'm taking a civil rights history class. does anyone know some good books on the matter of Jim Crow laws and gun rights as it pertains to the matter of US civil rights movement from the turn of the 20th century till now?
I believe Kopel has a book on the subject. Also , any insights/articles about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and who voted for what and why would be appreciated. I recall something about Al Gore's pappy being a racist and know some of the history of "KKK" Byrd. I know I'm in for a fun semester of being the lone conservative in class and hearing about evil republicans aplenty .
wish me luck,

I knew C. Vann Woodward. He got it right, and upset a lot of preconceptions that are rife in the modern "history" books that you refer to.

Yes, he admitted he had not begun to read on the subject. I agree with your recommendation. I'm just saying he may have done a lot of searching before he found this book, or his library may not have had it. I repeat that FreeRepublic has the best conservative minds in the country... yourself included.
