New resource: Civil Rights and Social JusticeWe are proud to introduce our new database, Civil Rights and Social Justice! This database "brings together a diverse offering of publications covering civil rights in the United States as their legal protections and definitions are expanded to cover more and more Americans. Containing links to more than 500 scholarly articles*, hearings and committee prints, legislative histories on the landmark legislation, CRS and GAO reports, briefs from major Supreme Court cases, and publications from the Commission on Civil Rights, this database allows users to educate themselves on the ways our civil rights have been strengthened and expanded over time, as well as how these legal protections can go further still." Make sure to spend some time exploring this database and think of ways to incorporate it in the classroom or research topics! You can find it in our A-Z Resources list.
