Belmont Humanities Symposium Journal
Abstract
To think about the civil rights movement as a travel narrative, one must ask a rather different set of questions than others have about one of the most significant and widely commemorated historical events of the twentieth century, in the process defining what I’ll call “an imagined civil rights movement.” As it stands today, scholars of civil rights have largely dedicated themselves to the task of trying to find out what the movement was.
