US Civil Rights History

The history of the black freedom struggle now features on most A-level History subject guides and is a major topic of interest among young people.

Academics and students in the American Studies programme at the University of Manchester are pleased to present a brand-new, downloadable resource for teachers of A-level History.

‘New Approaches to US Civil Rights History’ (2021), a booklet produced by members of the University of Manchester American Studies’ programme, outlines some of the ways in which academic scholarship on this topic has changed, and offers fresh approaches for those teaching the subject at A-level.
