Civil Rights in Black and Brown

Saturday Feb 1 | 10:30 am - 10:30 am

In honor of African American History Month, join us as we welcome Dr. Todd Moye, co-author of Civil Rights in Black and Brown: Histories of Resistance and Struggle in Texas. In this talk based upon the book, Moye will delve into the rich history of the two civil rights movements that flourished in mid-twentieth-century Texas, and especially Fort Worth. While African American and Mexican American activists worked chiefly within their own racial groups, they also looked to each other for guidance and, occasionally came together in solidarity. Moye will draw on more than 500 oral history interviews to reveal hidden histories of resistance and revolution and the connection between them. Book signing will follow.

J. Todd Moye is the Fenton Wayne Robnett Professor of U.S. History and a Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of North Texas. He also directs the UNT Oral History Program and is a past president of the Oral History Association. Moye is the author, editor, or co-creator of several articles, books, and digital projects on the history of the modern African American freedom struggle, the most recent of which is Civil Rights in Black and Brown: Histories of Resistance and Struggle in Texas. A graduate of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and the University of Texas-Austin, Moye directed the National Park Service’s Tuskegee Airmen Oral History Project before coming to UNT.
