ABSTRACT:
"In July 1963, "Jim Crow Must Go in Brooklyn!" became the rallying cry of scores of men, women, and children resisting segregation. That summer the civil rights movement was challenging the political establishment from Capitol Hill to the Mississippi Delta. The northern civil rights struggle, however, focused not on legal refom, but economic justice.
