making the movement offers a powerful history of the civil rights movement, from emancipation through the 1980s, told through 200 objects—buttons, badges, posters, leaflets, and more—that served as tools for justice and freedom. spanning from reconstruction through jim crow, the protest era of the 1960s and ’70s, and into present-day activism, these objects were vital in shaping the movement’s tactics and goals. from sit-ins and marches to boycotts and legal campaigns, these nonviolent weapons helped advance the fight against racism, oppression, and violence.

• features over 200 objects that were central to the movement’s strategies, including buttons, flyers, and posters.
• tells the stories of activists, organizations, and campaigns that propelled the cause of civil rights.
• a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of black history and the ongoing fight against racism.

this book is a powerful reminder of the role material culture played in the struggle for justice and equality—and how these objects continue to inspire today's resistance movements.
