You can look up the facts about these controversial issues and many others in the Encyclopedia of American Civil Rights & Liberties, a three-volume set recently added to Oesterle Library’s reference collection.

In addition, the third volume of the encyclopedia also features the full text of primary source documents on American civil rights and liberties, ranging from “A Plea for Religious Liberty” (1664) to the text of one of President Roosevelt’s famous “fireside chats” from 1937.
