IRP Book Talk: Casey Nichols on Poverty Rebels: Black and Brown Protest in Post–Civil Rights America
Thursday, 26 June, 2025
The 1960s and 1970s were a time of tremendous change politically and culturally in the United States. Federal legislation and policy enshrined voting rights and implemented measures to increase equality, but there were still many areas in which those changes fell short for people of color and those living in poverty. In her new book, “Poverty Rebels: Black and Brown Protest in Post–Civil Rights America,” Dr. Casey Nichols examines the history and legacy of local, state, and national activism through the lens of Black and Brown communities in Los Angeles between 1964 and 1979. Casey D. Nichols is assistant professor of history at Texas State University. She is also an IRP Emerging Poverty Fellow.
