Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the prestigious Carey McWilliams Prize for best Undergraduate Honors History Thesis at the University of California, Los Angeles, The Unknown Architects of Civil Rights is a groundbreaking book that re-examines three of the most influential-but largely forgotten-civil rights leaders in American history. As civil rights history continues to hold a prominent place in American society, it is only through the courageous actions of Thaddeus Stevens, Ulysses S. Grant, and Charles Sumner that America's most prized Civil Rights gains are emblazoned in our Constitution. Without these powerful and then-famous politicians, the 1960's Civil Rights Movement would not have occurred the way it did--or possibly even at all. During the Reconstruction Era when racism and prejudice was at its height, Stevens, Grant, and Sumner valiantly fought for African American equality only years following the institution of slavery. The Unknown Architects of Civil Rights brings to life the personalities, the struggles, and the legacies of three men who strove towards America's claim of "liberty and justice for all" during this unprecedented time in our nation's history. Review "The Unknown Architects of Civil Rights is a model of excellent research, astute analysis, and engaging discourse....[Goldenberg] succeeds in both differentiating and connecting the efforts of these men to keep America on its uncertain course towards democracy." --UCLA Department of History
