The scene of a protracted local struggle to force equality in education and open housing for blacks, the city also became the focus of national attention in the summer of 1966 as Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference challenged the entrenched political machine of Mayor Richard J. Daley. The failure of King's campaign--a failure he would not live to redeem--marked the final unsuccessful attempt to secure significant social change in Chicago, and soon afterward the national civil rights movement itself would unravel amid white backlash and cries of black power. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePicking up the threads of our own recent history, \u003ci\u003eConfronting the Color Line\u003c\/i\u003e examines a political movement that remains unfinished, a dilemma for America's system of democratic social change that remains unsolved.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Anderson (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ALAN B.
