Abstract
Professor of history Gary Gerstle talks about the seeds of the civil rights movement in the years following World War II. Professor Gerstle explains that the move towards racial equality in America was motivated to some extent by the Cold War and the U.S. government's recognition that it had to respond to Soviet claims that communism is a more just system than capitalism. But Professor Gerstle goes on to say that, "...one can't discount the self-activity, the courage, the mobilization of people determined to fight for what was right and what was just in American society."
