Civil Rights History in Louisville
During the Civil Rights Movement, the deep South seemed to be the hub of the race riots and civil disobedience demonstrations which reconstructed American society, but how was Louisville affected by the protests which rocked the rest of the nation?

K’Meyer, author of Civil Rights in the Gateway to the South: Louisville Kentucky 1945-1980, as we discuss Louisville’s Civil Rights History.
