Professor Dr. Mike Butler, received both his master’s and doctorate degrees in History from the University of Mississippi, where he specialized in 20th century Southern History with an emphasis on the Civil Rights movement. He teaches, among others, courses in American History, African-American History, Slavery in the United States and The Civil Rights Movement.
The Black Freedom Struggle offers a new perspective on the literature of the black freedom struggle, Beyond Integration reveals how with each legal step taken toward racial equality, notions of black inferiority became more entrenched, reminding us just how deeply racism remained--and still remains--in our society.
