Indeed, modern American presidents have become a major focal point for the civil rights struggle." "In The Modern Presidency and Civil Rights, Garth E. Pauley examines modern presidents' communicative and symbolic involvement in these matters, focusing on four crucial speeches, the circumstances surrounding them, and their effect on public attitudes and policy."--Jacket.
