9625597 This Doctoral Dissertation Improvement research examines the impacts of social movements on political and social change through a study of the Mississippi civil rights movement. Research on the civil rights movement has focused primarily on the period up to the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 which is often regarded as the final chapter in the southern civil rights movement. Many important struggles took place after 1965 at the local level as movements tried to shape electoral politics, increase access and improve the quality of public schools and secure public resources like Headstart and Community Action Programs. This research employs two research strategies to examine the trajectory and impact of the local civil rights movements in Mississippi after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. First, quantitative county-level data will be used to examine the movement's impact on electoral politics, primary and secondary educational institutions and social services. Second, an intensive examination of three communities will be conducted through archival research and informant interviews. This will be used to further elaborate and develop the quantitative analysis. The research will increase our understanding of the role of social movements in political and social change and the outcomes of such movements.

9625597 这项博士论文改进研究通过对密西西比州民权运动的研究，探讨了社会运动对政治和社会变革的影响。 对民权运动的研究主要集中在1965年投票权法案通过之前的时期，这通常被认为是南方民权运动的最后一章。 1965 年之后，地方层面发生了许多重要的斗争，这些运动试图塑造选举政治、增加入学机会并提高公立学校的质量以及确保 Headstart 和社区行动计划等公共资源。 本研究采用两种研究策略来考察1965年投票权法案颁布后密西西比州当地民权运动的轨迹和影响。首先，将使用县级定量数据来考察该运动对选举政治、中小学教育机构和社会服务的影响。 其次，将通过档案研究和知情人访谈对三个社区进行深入调查。 这将用于进一步阐述和发展定量分析。 该研究将增进我们对社会运动在政治和社会变革中的作用以及此类运动的结果的理解。
